Hi I have some adjustments to make because we’re planning to keep swimming for at least another week or two. What should I focus on with these results?

I would do nothing to your chemistry, in general.
I might turn down the SWG, as your FC is high.
If you are sure on the CC results, then I would SLAM. Link-->SLAM Process
If you are not sure on the CC results, I would do an overnight chlorine loss test. If you fail, you slam. Link-->Overnight Chlorine Loss Test

What chemicals have you added recently?

Only chemicals I’ve added recently is muriatic acid which I happened to have added earlier today. That should explain the lower ph because my steady state is around 7.6.
 
If your steady state is 7.6, do not lower pH below 7.6. With a TA of 50, I wouldn't lower my pH below 7.8. A pH of 7.8-8.0 is just fine. You don't want a TA below 50. If you continue to drive pH down so low, you also lower TA. At some point below a TA of 50, you risk crashing your pH...which would not be good.

Thanks I really over added the acid today. Mainly because I was lazy.
