Competitive swimmers. Do you have Asthma?


Competitive swimmers. Do you have Asthma?
The other question about swimmers lung got me curious. How many competitive swimmers have asthma? Did you develop asthma while you were swimming or do you swim because you have asthma?

I've have been swimming masters for the last 8 years and have had exercise induced asthma for about the last 5 years. I can't really tie the asthma to swimming. Almost all my swimming is in a pool, the only open water swimming I do is racing triathlons.

Interesting... I thought this was the reason why many swimmers take up the sport. To help with the condition. As yes lots of top Olympic swimmers seem to have asthma.
