Is drowning very painful?

I would assume it's not pleasant... It's probably just terrifying and you can't really do anything except gasp for breath but if you're alreayd too far underwater you're just going to swallow more and more water until you pass out from lack of oxygen. I've choked before and not been able to breathe for about 5-10 seconds and it was terribly scary and so I'd assume it would be something like that but without whatever air I managed to get in my lungs to save me from passing out. If you're asking because you're trying to drown yourself or something, 1. get help, and 2. it's impossible to drown yourself, your body won't let you. Oh but no it didn't hurt it was just really scary.
