not held underwater but there are scenes where characters are underwater (for example someone hides underwater, running out of air) and could be triggering since they look distressed

There is one scene underwater where Romeo is holding his breath and is running out a bit, but he is able to breathe soon and its not for long or intense.

Romeo and Juliet are young teens and they both die. This could still be considered by some as a kid dying.

I was nervous about the poison scene incase there was any coughing or gagging.
There is none! He grunts a bit but nothing like coughing gagging etc.

There are ambulances, but not even mentions of hospitals or scenes in or around them.

Juliet threatens to kill herself in one scene in front of a sympathetic friar if he cannot help her escape an arranged marriage. She goes as far as brandishing a pistol and pointing it to her head to illustrate how serious she is.

The Capulet party scene does have some strobing lights, as does the preamble scene.

There are underwater scenes where people hold their breath. At one point someone dies, then falls into water. However, nobody drowns.

Yes, given that this is a modern interpretation of the classic Shakespeare in a modern (for the 1990s) setting. As such, "swords" and "daggers" are referenced, but they are now guns of varying calibers and sizes.
