Water finally starting to clear. At what chlorine level can we get back to swimming? I have seen sevaral products whose instructions say DO NOT swim until chlorine level is 5 ppm or lower. If I need to keep my FC 5-10 all the time, these products must be wrong.... right?

It may take a few days of maintaining the high cl levels to clear it. Run your pump 24/7 while you are trying to clear the water. Also, your TA is too high. Read the sticky at the top of the alk forum on steps to lower it to 80-125. Good luck.
