tim asked:


I have asthma (minor, but still, I have it), and I’ve been told that swimming is the best thing an asmatic can do.

Why is that? I know that all arobic exercises are good for your asthma but swimming seems to be the first things people tell you is good. So, why swimming as opposed to say, jogging or biking.

I’m just curious, considering starting a regular swimming workout. Thanks.

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

    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?
