mmmhh.. the cover ups seems like a good idea. I don't know if this will help at all, but several things come to my mind... what about a tanning lotion that is water proof?? if you ever use those... it might draw attention away from the scars? but you should try this ahead of time to "test" it...then what about something really distracting, like anklets or even bracelets to draw attention away from your legs... also, as difficult as we all know this is, trust me, you'd be surprised to know how few people will closely examine your legs upon walking into the pool.... they're busy w/ themselves, their own worries about their bodies and if you walk in confident, w/ a bright smile on your face or just "incognito" lol, then they'll be more focused on your face or won't even notice... in the end, these are the kind of things that prevent us from enjoying life, and you know, coming from a background w/ ed's and si, I am so sick of this sometimes..... it shouldn't keep you from doing what you want to do... but I know it's all easier said than done....
