Yes, during some life stages. When frogs are tadpoles they breathe under water through internal gills, and their skin. And then later they develop into land animals and develop lungs for breathing air.
Frogs breathe with their mouths closed, the throat sack pulls air through the nose and into their lungs. Frogs nostrils are placed on top of their head so they can be in the water and breathe at the same time just like a crocodile floats and has eyes on top if its head to be on guard.

∙ 15y agoyes that is indeed right fogs do die under water because there are not water animals they are amphibians that live in very very shallow waters they do come into your Swimming Pools though because because they dont live infresh water either they live in gunky waters really dirty waters so and that would also mean that if you have tadpoles or frogs in your swimming pool that would mean that youre swimming pool water is very dirty and you should put fresh water in it === === written by yahhh

∙ 12y agoLike the eggs of all amphibians, frog eggs have no outer shell to protect them from the outside; they are completely soft and jelly-like. Because of this, the eggs need to be laid in the water. If they were in the air, they would dry out and die very quickly. (Compare them with bird or reptile eggs; since they have a shell which protects them from dessication, they can develop in the air.)
Many species of frogs lay their eggs in water, but not all do e.g. the Corroboree frog.
Also, frogs of the genus Pristimantis lay their eggs on land, where they do not undergo a tadpole stage, hatching as fully metamorphosed baby frogs. Some species of frogs even give birth to live young, such as members of the African genus Nectophrynoides and other species found in the Andes and Central America.

∙ 9y agoYes and no. Frogs usually lay their eggs on vegetation in the water/water plants whilst they are above water, they do not lay them whilst they themselves are underwater. The spawn may sink a bit and become completely submerged, or the top of the spawn will be above water level. This is not bad as such, because those eggs would get the most light, but they are less protected in that way. Frogs hatch their eggs in water, not under-water.

Do amphibians require dry habitats for breeding?
No, the eggs are laid in water.
How frogs does live without water?
The majority of frogs do not live in water. True aquatic frogs are very rare. Most frogs need to live in moist areas or near water because they are amphibians and their skin dries out very quickly if they are too dry. However, they only enter it for a few minutes at a time. Despite this, a lot of terrestrial frogs are very good swimmers. The majority of frogs breed in water, but some of them do not. One species, the beautiful Red-Eyed Leaf Frog, lays its eggs on branches that overhang water. This protects them from aquatic predators in their embryonic stages when they cannot escape. When the tadpoles hatch they fall into the water to complete their development. Other species have bypassed water altogether. The Australian nursery frogs lay their eggs in moist leaf litter. The eggs are much larger than normal frog eggs and the tadpoles complete their development inside them, emerging as fully formed frogs with no tails. All of the frogs that lack a free swimming tadpole stage still go through being a tadpole, they just never leave their eggs.
