I wouldn't want to swim during the conversion for two reasons: 1) when the water is cloudy, it is very easy for a swimmer, who is underwater and in trouble where no one can see, to drown; and 2) during the conversion, there's lots of nasty combined chloramines being formed as a result of the chlorine breaking down the SoftSwim, and I don't think they'll be kind to swimmers, eyes, skin, or swimsuits. It would be better to either postpone the conversion until you're ready to shut down the pool for up to a week, or just bite the bullet and do it, and swim afterwards. Like Watermom said, the more diligent you are about keeping the chlorine levels up in the pool, the faster the conversion will go.
