I used to work for an Asthma and Allergy Specialist as a medical assistant, and one of the things the doctor would say is that swimming and breath holding were both good ways to expand your lung capacity. Just follow the rules of being a safe diver, prepare adequately for cold water, and if you are going to be doing strenuous swimming, you might consider taking your rescue inhaler before you begin, rather than waiting for an attack.

Dive safely.
