    CYA = ~60 ppm

    Algae chlorine dose = 25% of CYA, or 15 ppm!

    Try keeping your chlorine between 10 ppm and 20 ppm for the next week. BRUSH the pool completely at least 2x, a couple of days apart.

    You CAN swim: 30 minute pediatric "bleach baths" (Google for it if you like) are 50 - 100 ppm!

    But do NOT wear new expensive 'fashion' swimsuits. Competition suits (Speedo, Tyr, Nike, etc) should be fine. Otherwise, wear older suits.

    Good luck!
