[There's a long moment where Bucky doesn't breathe, where he's still, but then water comes spilling from his mouth as he coughs and consciousness returns in flitting spurts.

He doesn't want to take the chance of this backfiring again, doesn't like the Soldier being in charge any longer than necessary.
That and he can't stand the water, fear pushing its way to the top as he tries to get his limbs to work. Work, dammit, work.]
