RE: What is max chlorine for safe consumption and swimming
For swimming pools the Free Chlorine residual should be 1 - 4 ppm. Above 4 ppm could be harmful.

EPA has set a maximum contaminate level for free chlorine at 4 mg/l as residual, from the disinfection byproducts rule.
The sodium hypo chlorite brand that I use has a maximum dose rate of 84 mg/l as part of its NSF 60 listing. It is 12.5% so this results in a dose rate of 10.5 mg/l.
