You are FINE! Nothing to worry about...just put the kids in older suits, not their newest ones.
That's about all you need to concern yourself with.
Hi - hosted our first swimming happy hour yesterday after 3 days of terrible rains. Lots of friends, good food and drinks! After the party, my Cl was down to 3.0 and Ph had crept up to 8.0+ (new pool/LOTS of rain over 3 days).
After the party, I was not myself apparentlyand I misread the bleach calculator. Added a jug of acid - I'm ok there. But in trying to bring my Cl up from 3 ppm to 6 ppm, using what's left of chlorine from when I was "pool stored" I input 10.5% as variable. I should have used approx 1 qt chlorine, instead used 1 gallon (DUMB MISTAKE!) This morning, numbers are:
FC 11
CC 0
Ph 7.2
Alk 60
CYA 50
CH 350
Not really shock level at my CYA level per Ben's chart, just high Cl. Is there a downside to not "truly shocking"? Can that create a problem? (DUMB ? #1)
More importantly to my kids - can they swim? (DUMB ? #2)

As Carl said, no problem. If you want to bring the cl down a little quicker, let the kids out to run and play and tell them that it's ok this weekend not to rinse off before using the pool.
