Swimming & Asthma

With the weather beginning to warm up, I thought it would be interesting to see how swimming affects your asthma. Swimming is promoted as an exercise for people with asthma because you breathe in warm, moist air rather than the cold, dry air that may trigger asthma symptoms. Swimming can also help you develop good breathing practices.

Research, however, has indicated that some of the byproducts of chlorine can significantly contaminant the air around swimming pools. Not surprisingly, people using indoor pools seem to be more affected.
