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?

Well, I agree with Jeff if its too bad they should closed the pool and fix the problem. As for sharing with high schools,here in Tucson most high schools don't have pools and in the winter time they practice in the same rec pools that the adults use for earlier hours and later hours for lap swimming. I know that if a pool is at a high school its a little different but the high schools don't swim year round and have probably swim classes during certain parts of the year. Maybe, someone should mention that to the schools to open the pools for either real early practice to a masters team or late hours. You have to push the issue.
