This seems to be a new issue, I didn't find anything like it under the search function. I swim at 5:30 am, and do 2000 meters, freestyle and kick sets. I just recently started taking more strokes between breaths, I was doing 2-4, now I'm doing 6-8. I do have asthma, but I've not had problems swimming before, and I don't have any issues while I'm exercising. The onset of symptoms is usually around 5-6 hours AFTER I finish my workout. Anybody out there ever have this happen?

I forgot to mention that 13.4ch practice ended and did not resume until the chlorine level was at normal levels of below 5 which was the next day. I agree 13.4 is dangerous. Anything above a 6 is harmful to workout swimmers IMO. I usually do not have practice if the ch level is above 5 unless it is outdoors. And then only barely above 5. I cancel if it is above 5 indoors. Lungs are pretty important.
