River boy

Hello....

She locked into her stroke and drove herself on, her breath beating its
practised rhythm in time with the strokes, as even as the chime of a clock. In
for a gulp of oxygen, her mouth twisted upwards to snap its life from the air,
then facedown again and the long exhalation to a slow, steady count, bubbles
teasing her lips like tiny fish.

1. In for a gulp of oxygen, means to take in oxygen, or in search of oxygen?
2. it in snap its life refers to her mouth?
3. What does snap its life from the air mean?
4. facedown is of the same structure with to snap? So it means to facedown?
