Will hypoxic sets improve my ability to swim without air?

From what I understand, breath control training largely provides little (if any?) physiological training effect other than from the work itself (which is hindered anyway, making it a waste of time for training any of the energy systems). I assume there is room to mentally adapt and learn how to manage hypoxic suffering. But other than developing a strong aerobic base and increasing level of conditioning, can one actually have room to improve their hypoxic capacity specifically through hypoxic training? Thank you!

The answer seems to to be only maladation is developed with hypoxic training. Try googling. If you read and interpret the same as me (not saying you will) then you will conclude that hypoxic training is, in fact, bad for you.
