You should be fine. Unless you really swallow a huge amount ( like a glass) on a regular basis, it will just pass through your system with no problem. I tell the kids I teach swim lessons to all the time that it's just the first step in learning to swim, and it happens to all of them.

Unless you swallowed two gallons of it you'll be fine.. its not the chlorine that will hurt you though.. that is supposed to be safe, if I take a big gulp of pool water I feel I just swallowed a lot of pee
but thats just me

You'll be alright. You probably swallowed more pee in the pool than chlorine. Just teasing you. Good luck on the swim lessons. :)

No...... I would be careful about that. As long as nothing is out of the ordinary like, stomach aches, mouth aches, etc. You should be fine, but drink alot of water and keep a close eye on yourself. I don't think you had it in your mouth long enough to do any damage.

you'll be ok. i'm a swimmer and i swallow chlorine a lot. not on purpose of course. it's not good for you. so, just try to prevent it by covering your mouth.

Don't worry about it. As long as you didn't drink gallons of it.
