Water accumulation from accidently breathing in water (I take it you are swimming and not just bobbing around).
Diaphragm muscle stiffening due to the cold, which is really due to energy issues and calcium efflux from the muscle. You may notice your muscles becoming more rigid and and your movements less flexible. You're expending energy trying to keep warm at the expense of energy for endurance exertion.
Could be a combo of both.

water and lungs.
Whenever I am in the water for an extended period of time, I get this strange sensation in my lungs when I breathe in deep. It isn't a good one either. It is hard to describe, it is almost like a painful tickle. Usually it will occur to a greater extent when I am in cold water. It used to bother me alot when I was younger, but I still get it from time to time. I'm curious to what this could be.

Well, your surficial circulation constricts to preserve heat in deeper tissues in cold water, but the primary problem is lack of sufficient energy to meet both exertion and thermal demands in peripheral tissue.
