what did i step on?
Not sure if this is an issue by you, but were you standing around long enough before you got in the water to get chiggers?

OMG, (LOL) too funny!!!
the hives have disapeared. it looks like a bite or a puncture now that the swelling has gone down.
Maybe a jellyfish (although I think it's a little early in the season for them on Long Island). I was stung by one not too far from where you are when I was young and it was all hives and itchy/stingy, but went away in a day.
