They only have one respriatory system and it is similar to humans. They breath oxygen from ther air with their lungs. When they are underwater they simply hold their breath (and can do so for a very long time). They do not breath water with gills like fish.
Crocodiles primarily use lungs to breathe on land. They have a diaphragm that helps them inflate and deflate their lungs as they breathe air in and out. They can hold their breath for long periods while submerged in water thanks to special adaptations in their respiratory system.
