How could working underwater help astronauts practice being in space?

Because if weighted properly, they can be neutrally boyant. In other words, they're as close to weightless as they can get on earth. The astronauts train underwater to give them a sense of what its like to do their task while weightless and also to practice the peocedures required for their task. The first astronaut to take advantage was Buzz Aldrin when he trained for his Gemini 12 mission. Aldrin was and is still an avid scuba diver. He noticed the similarity between water and space. His succees on Gemin 12 made underwater training the norm for all astronaut extravehicular training.
