They are marine mammals, and evolution made them that way (or God did, if you don't believe in evolution). They do not breathe underwater, so they do come up for air.

Did unicorns live on Noah 's ark and swim and swim until they turned into narwhals?

No. Even if there was a Noah's ark, there is no reason to believe that unicorns (a mythical animal which does not exist) would have transformed into narwhals (a real animal that is common in the Arctic ocean). We have biological evidence that leads to the conclusion the narwhals are relatives of the beluga whale. One tooth changed to grow so long that it would pierce the skin above the mouth and exit the other side as a long horn. It is from a beluga-whale-like-ancestor that narwhals descend; not unicorns.
