Reptiles don't get oxygen from the water. All reptiles have to come up to the surface to breathe, but can hold their breath a long time.
Most reptiles use diffusion through the skin to obtained oxygen.
Reptiles do need oxygen
They use there little tongue to sip the water.
Yes, tap water can be safe for reptiles, but it is important to ensure that it is free of harmful chemicals like chlorine and heavy metals. It is recommended to use a water conditioner or filter to make tap water safe for reptiles.

Obviously oxygen from the air.
water and oxygen. Then us humans can use use the water and the oxygen and in return we breathe out carbon dioxide, which plants can use.
Amphibians can absorb oxygen through their skin - reptiles need to physically breathe.
Reptiles have various adaptations that allow some species to survive underwater for extended periods. For instance, turtles and some aquatic reptiles can hold their breath for long durations due to their efficient oxygen usage and slower metabolic rates. Additionally, certain species have specialized respiratory systems, such as the ability to absorb oxygen through their skin or cloacal respiration, allowing them to remain submerged while still deriving necessary oxygen. However, most reptiles need to surface for air periodically.
