No. Sharks do not have lungs. Instead, they have gills just like fish and get all the oxygen they need directly from the water.

Can sharks jump out of the water?

Sharks can and do jump out of the water. Great white sharks have been filmed hunting seals by coming up beneath them and leaping all the way out of the water. They hit the seal at very high speed, which they build up by starting from deep in the ocean and swimming as hard as they can toward the surface. The impact is so great that the seal is probably dead before it even realized what has happened.
