I have a question. We're in a bubble, mostly in mornings and afternoons. It isn't exactly the best place, but whatever. We have trouble with ventilation, and we've improved some by putting tubing under the seam of the bubble, leading to the outside. We uncover these as we need to. Over the weekend they shocked the pool with a chlorine dosage instead of a non-chlorine dosage. We swam in the pool this morning, anyways. (We're hardcore like that!) Well, most of us developed breathing problems and uncovered the caps. Still, the symptoms prevailed. Most of us left the bubble for air, but still returned to finish our practice; personally I didn't leave. Talking to my friends today, after school, we all still had bad problems regarding breathing. We all can't breathe deep without hurting or coughing, and we're always gagging from time to time throughout the school day.
My question is:
Does anyone know how to rid of these symptoms fast?

Oops, "not coughing now, just when I breathe deep." Chlorine poisoning does exist. If you don't want to go see a MD or nurse, you'd better get some oxygen fast; know anyone who is a scuba diver with tanks or a person on those oxygen portable things?
Lungs rate right up there with heartbeat to me. We need'em both. But you really need to talk with a nurse or doctor first because chlorine poisoning causes fluid in the lungs; not a good thing. At least go online and look this up to see if there is something short-term that can be done to rid your body of excess chlorine. But I don't think swimming in saltwater would be the fix right now.
Or, maybe you can hold your breath in that 200? (joking here) because your lungs aren't working at race pace anyway.
