Seals are mammals. They Breathe with lungs, through their nostrils and mouth. Pretty much just like you and I.
Unlike other animals,a seal takes a deep breath before plunging back into water,so in a way seal holds its breath while in water, but if you're asking what organ they breathe with they breathe with their lungs.
They bob up to the surface and open there nostrils and breath, then go back under.

Hope this helped!
Just like we do. If underwater they must hold their breath until they come to the surface.

Yes, seals are mammals and they breathe air just like humans. They have lungs to take in oxygen from the air and release carbon dioxide. Seals can hold their breath underwater for an extended period of time due to their physiological adaptations.
