Hello,
I am a professional swimmer. Asthma is ruining my life and my career. Breathing problems and long hours of exposure to water have aggravated my asthmatic condition. Doctors have put me on medication and steroids to keep my condition in control. But these have their own side effects. I am desperately seeking help.

Hi Julicia,
I dont know If I can help, bute here is my opinion.

Most pools have water treated with Chlorine
and the most recent pools have no chemical treatement but the water is treated with Ultra Violet rays (or other kind of radiations), the last ones are more healty.
Chlorine is bad to asthma.

Another thing that asthmatics (like me), use to have asthma during intense exercise.

Hope you get better.

Sorry my english.

Just to get 10 posts sry T_T

There are many diseases, which haven't any clear medications or control, instead to live with them.. Asthma is included in those diseases...

I don't think Asthma have any lifetime solution. The only solution is pump and take the prevention. Need to work out what is causing the asthma attacks and try to avoid these things. Asthmatics have a high percentage of allergies to dust mites, pollens, grasses and pets. The particles in the air cause an allergic reaction in the windpipe.
