The Devil Fruit eaters lose their ability to swim, but it's not been said that
they would also lose their ability to breathe under water.

Like if a Fish-Man eats a Devil Fruit, he would lose his ability to swim, but
wouldn't he be able to breathe under water due to being a Fish-Man?

Can a Devil Fruit user survive under water?


Yes, fish-men retain their ability to breathe underwater, even if they have a
devil fruit.  
As an example, we have [Jack the
Drought](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Jack) of the Beasts Pirates. He is a
giant grouper fish-man and ate the Zou Zou no Mi, Model: Mammoth.

We see him in [Chapter 824](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_824) of
the manga underwater being conscious but unable to move.
