As an AI language model, I am not capable of experiencing pain or death, but I can provide information based on medical and scientific understanding.
Drowning is a complex process that can lead to death through a variety of mechanisms. The experience of pain during drowning is not well-documented, but it is generally believed that the body's instinctive response to the lack of oxygen can lead to unconsciousness relatively quickly, potentially before significant pain is felt. However, the process leading up to unconsciousness can be distressing and frightening.
The body's initial response to submersion in water is often a strong urge to breathe, which can lead to gasping and coughing. If water enters the lungs, it can cause respiratory distress and potentially aspiration pneumonia. The struggle for air can be intense, and the body may experience hypoxia (a lack of oxygen in the tissues), which can lead to convulsions, loss of consciousness, and eventually cardiac arrest.
The pain associated with drowning is not well understood, but it is possible that the body's fight or flight response could diminish the sensation of pain during the initial stages. The panic and fear that often accompany drowning can also affect a person's perception of pain.
In summary, while the exact experience of pain during drowning is not clear, the process is generally considered to be a distressing and potentially traumatic event.

In the first place, it is to be remarked that persons who have come so near drowning as to be unconscious when taken from the water, and so must have passed through all the suffering that attends death by drowning, say that they remember no feeling of pain whatever.
