You wrote "Does just swimming increase someone's vital capacity?". I think the answer is yes, and I would only change that to "swimming harder". If you search under the phrase "training effect" you'll find more technical explanations.
If I may speculate, one other thing I can think of is to breathe diaphragmatically. Here though, I am speaking out of experience of playing the trumpet, and not swimming. Something about breathing diaphragmatically prevents hyperventilating while playing a long passage in one breath. I suspect this also applies when swimming at lower speeds. Can any of the coaches or physicians confirm this? Shaky?
