Indefinitely, especially if they die in the process.

Your time under water and your ability to survive it depend on a number of factors. In water near freezing, the average person will die from hypothermia in minutes. If the person has a lot of insulation (wet suit or fat) they can survive longer.

If the water is near body temperature, the limiting factor is probably going to be food. If it is salt water, the limiting factor will be water to drink. If you supply food, the person will be able to survive longer but will probably succumb to an infection because the average human's skin will degrade from continuous immersion.
