Trixie The Red-Eared Slider Turtle

I volunteered last evening at the Children's Campout, and in the staff office there, they had a red-eared slider turtle there in a fish tank along with some fish. Trixie swum around in the water, occasionally sticking her snout out through the surface to breathe.

Do red-eared slider turtles spend most or all of their time underwater? I thought turtles lived part of their time on land?
