Reptiles breathe air through their nostrils and their mouths into their lungs. They don't have gills and if they swim underwater they have to come to the surface to breathe.
(Amphibians ( frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians) are not reptiles. Most amphibians can accept oxygen from water or air through their skin. They can also pump air into their primitive lungs using their mouth or throat to force it down.)
