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?

OK you don't like doctors,I don't like to go to the doctor and I am one. Go anyway,at worst he/she will tell you not to swim and you will ignore them.Maybe there is something that could help quickly though,like a steroid inhaler or something similar that would help you recover faster. I know what you mean about how important work-outs and meets are and I have swum many times when I shouldn't have. I have turned a simple cold(that I HAD to swim through for a small meet) into a bronchitis that held me out of my taper meet.
Now, I hate going to doctors too. But I generally "like" them, and I really like Allen. (Gull's pretty cool too.) I'd take Allen's advice. I have swum through a rather important meet with bronchitis. It was torture. Get a steroid inhaler, take singular and take some mucinex to help the cough. If your throat starts closing up, you might need a steroid injection. But this usually takes 24 hours to take effect. Try not to die. If you don't see a doctor before the meet, you better go after or risk future death. My god, this is a deathly thread.
But why is a national swimmer swimming in a private pool with a bubble?
