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?

If the chlorine was that bad you might want to check with the management and if need be the local Health Dept. The fact that this could cause health problems for others that are exposed (lifeguards, spectators). To get the pool that bad the chemicals would have to be way way way out of the safe range.
