They can drown if you let them submerge for long, not for a few seconds like that, no worries.
Did he already finish shedding and has stuck shed? Or did he not shed yet?
An easy method for removing stuck shed is putting a warm wet towel in a tub (no warmer than 90 degrees) and putting him in there to crawl over the towel. After 10 minutes, take him out and help remove any leftover stuck shed using the towel, and they will just slide off. It's easy and low stress for the snake.
