I'll bet your blood is crystal clear right now!

Don't worry, I work with pools every day and even see people drink pool water! (believe it or not with the right ph and Chlorine mix a pools water is pretty d**n clean, even if someone pees in it) So unless you ate a chlorine tablet whole you will be ok.

Answer 5

yea, that happens to everyone, you going to have a sore throat. You will be fine, have a glass of milk and then drink anything hot. Tea, hot coco. Maybe eat something. Unless you start vomiting i would say your fine. If you start vomiting then i would call the doctor.

Answer 6

The water in the pool probably contains about 1 and a half to 3 PARTS PER MILLION of chlorine.  That means if you swallowed a gallon of water (unlikely!) you would have taken in at most 3 - 1/millionths of a gallon of chlorine.

And the chlorine in the pool is not 'pure', but a combined form (sodium hypochlorite, for instance) that is significantly less toxic than pure chlorine.

No worries!

Chlorine is toxic.  But at that dosage you do not need to lose any sleep over it!
