P-3 Aircrew Cold War Warrior here, water-boarded twice in SERE (Survival Evasion Resistance Excape).
Has to be the closest thing to drowning I've ever been, but after the training talked to the Navy Corpsman who's part of the routine it is to help "hold me down" - except he was checking my pulse rate throughout.
I spoofed them the second time and faked choking - they let me up.
Warner Springs in October. Brrrrr!

My hubby was waterboarded as part of his survival training too. He has had NO problems from it at all.
