I would think that if you, yourself, are not harmed by holding your breathe (meaning, you don't hold it longer than your body can handle without passing out) then your baby shouldn't be either. The body has involuntary defense mechanisms that will protect you and your baby and will ultimately cause your body to react in such ways that will allow compensation/balance of oxygen to be restored for both of you. If you hold your breath too long to the point of passing out, you pass out for the simple reason of your body attempting to self-preserve. The only danger of holding your breathe (until that point, passing out) to you and the baby might be your falling and hurting yourself and the baby when you do pass out.

Is swimming underwater while pregnant harmful to baby in third trimester?
They generally recommend not holding your breath for a long period of time because when you don't breathe you also deprive your baby of oxygen, which is most of the reason why smoking is bad during pregnancy.... the more smoke you inhale the less oxygen gets to your baby. But swimming in general is great. It gives you excercise without putting all the stress on your joints, or the impact on your body of running.
