Water boatmen breathe through a complicated structure of tubes (called tracheae and tracheoles) and air sacs. Oxygen is pulled into the body through openings in their abdomens called spiracles. Once the oxygen has been pulled in, the outer most vents close and the air is forced into increasingly smaller pipes known as tubules, until it reaches the required cells.
I dont think so. They mostly live in wetlands. But adult water boatmen can fly so mabey they fly somewhere else but most likely if they are flying somewhere else it is to go to a different pond or lake, or just catch prey to eat. I am doing a school project on water boatmen. I hope this helps!
