They dont have lungs. They have modified gills that help them breathe air. That is why it has to be moist in their crabitats.

Can land hermit crabs breath under water?

In oxygenated water hermit crabs can survive for a short time. Straws can stay under the longest as their modified gills most closely resemble marine hermit crab gills. However, the time varies between the species. Generally a hermit crab will only be under for a minute or two. As long as your pool has an easy way for crabs to get out they are good at regulating when they have been under too long. A hermit crab will not drown if he has a way to climb out.
