D&D 5E Armour check penalties

I wonder if there might be encumbrance/armor considerations listed in either the movement or abilities/skills sections of the rules, or in the encumbrance section. Hopefully we will know tomorrow.

Most sensible D&D heroes should not go ANYWHERE near water in armor as they are 99% likely to be attacked by squids, weresharks, krakens, elementals, scrags, and any other number of unholy abominations that would love to drag them in for a swim ;)

Yeah, as a GM I have about 17 Monsters books, and 1/8th of each are underwater monsters I have never got to use.... fek it, I am attacking him with all of them at once!!!!
 

Realistically (which D&D is not) wearing any heavy armor and carrying pounds and pounds of metal would be a drowning death sentence. At the very least, countless adventurers would have stripped out of their gear and left it at the bottom of countless subterranean lakes :)

Water breathing, a couple of ropes, and I'm a millionaire! ;)
