Drinking too much water?

Hello all!
My male beardie, Russell, is 3 years old and generally in good health.
I'm just concerned about the way he drinks water. I've noticed when I give him a bath (once a week) he dunks his head into the water and sits and drinks for like, 2 minutes straight. Afterwards he coughs and kinda wheezes? For a second or two.
The next day I'll notice his poop is normally formed but accompanied by a lot of liquid.
This has been going on for the past month and I'm hoping he's just dehydrated? Like I said, everything else is normal with him. I feed him once a day, veggies are difficult to feed due to his stubbornness. His temperatures are 103 F tops and roughly 75 F in the cool spot.
Should I be concerned and do something differently? Thank you for your help!

Does he have access to water in the tank or is the only water he’s getting is from the bath??
Yes if he gorges on water one day, the next day he’ll poo out the excess - but if he doesn’t have access to water in the tank you’ll have to give water more often than just once a week. He’s probably not getting enough - so he drinks until he coughs..
Neither of mine like water in the tank but I give them both baths a few times a week as well as water from an eye dropper. They don’t need a lot but more than once a week.

I'd be cutting the baths , too much risk that he'll aspirate the water into his lungs (VERY BAD ! if this happens).

Bearded dragons DO NOT NEED frequent baths , only bath him if he needs it.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
