During our Monday night practice, the chlorine was off the charts high. Several swimmers noticed lung discomfort while working out (we did a 4000 yard practice in 1-hour; necessarily some huffing and puffing.)
That night, I awoke with a burning in my throat and upper windpipe and lungs. It's since moderated a bit.
My questions: has anyone experienced "lung burn" like this? How long before you return to normal? Is there any remedy other than not swimming when the pool chemicals are really out of whack?

Not that bad but I do some of my practices in a women's health club and they usually have high levels of chroine and like your pool its indoors. I don't do the amount of yardage you do in a hour. Its more like between 2,300 to 2,800 in an hour and 10 minutes. My noise runs real bad from workouts after I swim there but its convenient for after work nite workouts than the public rec pool is.
