OK, I have to comment here because I have asthma and have encountered difficulty breathing when swimming in the past.
I agree that there could be no kind of benefit from using an inhaler for those that do not have asthma. Asthma is an inflamation in the brochial tubes. If you don't have asthma, and thus no inflamation, using the inhaler would not help at all.
I find that when I use my rescue inhaler, it actually causes me to cough more for a while, to clear out all that gunk in my lungs, and increases my heart rate for about 30 minutes (not to mention it makes me shakey).
Don't all of those things make it harder to swim and not easier??? :dunno:
