Roly-polys, or pillbugs, can typically survive underwater for about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the conditions. They breathe through gills that require moisture, so prolonged submersion can lead to suffocation. However, they are primarily land-dwelling creatures and prefer humid environments, making them more vulnerable to drowning than aquatic organisms.
