What exercises help kids strengthen their lungs?

My daughter is 5 years old and has severe wheezing problems from time to time. What exercises are recommended to help strengthen her lungs?

It is important to make sure that the asthma is well controlled. Swimming, as the air is moist and warm.
She can blow up a balloon. Swimming is also good exercise. If she has wheezing she may have asthma and may need an inhaler to relive the spasm instead of "strengthening her lungs"
