Drowning
Whether someone just didn't know how to swim or was held underwater or something else, if their lungs filled with water (or perhaps some other liquid) and could no longer breathe, here is where it should be.

Been there myself, but it was in the ocean for me. Really scary experience. I can swim now but I still don't like being in the ocean.

How'd you survive? I just angled my body towards shore and started jumping for air

I was around toddler age or a little older. Family and I were at the beach, my dad and mom were drinking beer while my sister and I were building sand castles. Sister told me to get water from the shore. A bigger than average wave crashed over me when I was kneeling down to fill the bucket and I just went tumbling with the wave. My parents weren't watching but some guy there saw it happen.
I didn't know which way was up and wasn't strong enough to stop myself from rolling with the force of the water. I remember panicking, I think I inhaled a small amount of water but then I felt 2 hands grasp both my shoulders and heave me out of the water. Some random guy, a father I assume saw it and rushed over. Got down on his knee and asked if I was okay. I was in a daze and scared and just nodded and waddled back to where my parents were. Everyone said I couldn't even get water for sand castles and gave me a hard time. I told them what had just happened and no one believed me. I think they just didn't want to accept they were negligent of the whole situation. Even years later when I mentioned it they don't want to admit that could have happened.
I never thanked the guy, and I wish I had or I could go back and thank him. He saved my life. I was just shocked from the whole thing at the time.
Tl;Dr: Random dad saw me get toppled by a wave, he rushed over and saved me.

It was scary and definitely something I'll never forget. Anytime I'm around the ocean this is always on a back burner. I'm much more cautions around the water and look out for others due to it. I guess all I can do is pay it forward since I can't go backwards. I'll just try to be vigilant so I can stop someone's kid from drowning.

Also I didn't even remember I almost drowned (i was 6) until I was 23. I was watching samurai champloo and broke into a cold sweat when fuu was drowning around episode 20 or so

Samurai Champloo was great. Sounds like you've lived a wild life, it's weird when memories come back to you that you sorta blocked out. It's a surreal feeling for sure, then you get a taste of how you felt during it, common with traumatic experiences. I try to not let it get to me but the ocean scares me in other ways as well. I'm just a big pussy sometimes lol.

I don't let it bother me too much
I almost drowned, fell off a cliff, was in a car crash, hit by two cars, had 4 gun barrels in my face at once, got tazed, peppersprayed and beaten, even contracted a tetanus infection once
My body's worse for it, but I just don't feel like dying with a whimper. I know what you mean and understand about the experience staying with you
