Swimming can be a great exercise for people with asthma as you breathe in warm, moist air rather than the cold, dry air that can lead to asthma symptoms.
Swimming can also help you develop good breathing practices.
Exercising in water suits many older people, as no stress is placed on weight-bearing joints such as the knees.
