Chlorine levels should be between 1-5 ppm
Yes; of course. However, the pool will not be as clean and sanitary as usual.

This would not be advised as when the chlorine content in a pool is too high(above 8.0pH) it can cause Eye and Skin Irritation. It is possible to, though it is not advised in the slightest as it may not have killed the bacteria in the pool, therefore if you have an open cut it may become infected and you are at higher risk of disease.
you should have your pool tested just to be on the safe side.
Nothing... You should just wear a Tampon when you go swimming.
There is 3 measurements of chlorine in a pool or spa. Total chlorine, combined chlorine, and free available chlorine. Free available chlorine is the good chlorine that is active in the pool killings germs and algae. Combined chlorine is chlorine is basically chlorine that was once active but has killed germs or bacteria and is now inactive in the pool. Total chlorine is free available and combined chlorine added together. If your combined chlorine is higher than free available chlorine then the water needs to be shocked to eliminate the combined chlorine. But be careful here. If you don't reach what's called break point you will only add to the combined chlorine. There are products on the market which will only remove combined chlorine without effecting your free available chlorine if you are unsure about reaching breakpoint. Hope this helps.
No it isn't good. You are having trouble breathing to begin with and the high level of chlorine in a pool is not good to breath.
The ocean, or an unchlorinated pool.
You should not re-enter the pool until the chlorine level is 3ppm or less on your test strip, however long that takes. Chlorine is a known carcinogen and high chlorine levels are linked to many respiratory diseases.
This question can only be answered by testing the water. There are alot more parameters to water being balanced than just chlorine. I would rather swim in a pool that smelled like chlorine than not. At least you know there is some chlorine in the water.. THE ABOVE IS WRONG!!! If you smell "chlorine" you do not have enough free chlorine in the water. Chlorine in and of itself is odorless. The only time it smells is when it combines with organic compounds like skin cells, tanning lotions, etc. What you are smelling is "combine chlorine" which is incapable of sanitizing the water. You must therefore "shock" the pool with a high dose of chlorine or other substance to get rid of the combined chlorine and leave sufficient amounts of "free" chlorine available to disinfect the water. If a pool smells...don't swim in it until they add more chlorine!
no he couldn't swim that's why he died he drack too much chlorine and passed out in the pool! no he couldn't swim that's why he died he drack too much chlorine and passed out in the pool!
You can swim in a pool without chlorine or salt they just keep the pool clean. but if you do it can give you bad skin
Yes; of course. However, the pool will not be as clean and sanitary as usual.
No
Yes!

Yes it can. Not all peoples head itch when swimming in a chlorine pool. If it does you should wear a swim cap or try to keep your head out of the water or just don't swim.
