My child has history of asthmatic. Is he and/or she suitable to learn swimming ?

Swimming is one of the best ways to control the smptoms of asthma and reduce the reliance on medication. Other than the expanding of the lung capacity, the children also gain a greater ability to control their breathing by holding thier breath. However, we highly recommend a doctor's opinion to be sought first as there are varying degrees of asthma.
