unless he is aquaman it's safe to assume he would pop up within a minute (note: he would actually drown in metal plate armor but I'm not nitpicking) and it's safe to assume Dany would be still there trying to pull that arrow out of her dragon with her Dothraki around and Jamie would have caught her attention for sure
Bronn dragged his ass off the lake, he litterally saved his life twice, not only jumping into him to the lake from dragon fire, but he swam and dragged him off it all (after he was submerged very deep). How is this confusing? Its litterally the first scene of the new episode, Bronn's heads pops up, catches breath, then he PULLS up Jaime and drags him to shore. Zero confusion in any of this. Or is censhorship heavy German tv cutting out vital scenes for you?
Pretty sure he would drowned if it wasnt for Bronn with that armour (Jaime even says you could have killed me, in jest I hope). That guy is so underappriciated, as he keeps telling Jaime lol. And now fucking Cersei talks like she will handle him if Jaime doesnt heh.

He was pulled away by Bronn btw.
Ofcourse.
I mean, one is heavy with water in his lungs and vomitting it all out, barely able to breathe, and the other just chilling waiting for him to recover, pretty clear who was under duress and was saved while sinking deep:
