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.
