Normally not drowning is a great thing but tbh it feels like cheating, in 19w36a when I go under water the bubbles appear like normal and go down, but when they run out, nothing happens, I can swim forever. I've been experiencing this for a few days now and figured it wasn't a one time glitch.
to replicate, simply go underwater and stay there till your oxygen is depleted.

This is caused by the parity gamerules in that update. drowningDamage is set to false for some reason.
Test the doImmediateRespawn, fallDamage, fireDamage, and doInsomnia gamerules aswell, and set them properly to how you prefer.
