They have gills that allow them to derive oxygen from the water, and also absorb water, therefor receiving more oxygen. While the above answer applies to mayfly nymphs which live under water it doesn't apply to adult mayflies which, like their name says, fly. Adult mayflys breathe in the same way as all insects, via tiny openings in their exoskeleton.
