Swimming is a good exercise but before you do make sure you have a respncible adult with you to supervise, don’t forget your life jacket and inhaler. and possibly allergy medication. Have fun?
It is because swimming starves the lungs of oxygen, causing your breathing tubes to open more to compensate. Much like the “buteyko” method., a natural alternative to medication.

Swimming helps develop your lungs and increase lung capacity, making lungs stronger and more able to fight off asthmatic attacks.

Because of the humidity. Your also not breathing in dry air and allergens that can trigger an attack.
