Can someone explain how the blow hole evolved?

I know that whales evolved from seals, which are both from order carnivora, but I need to know how the seal evolved to get a blowhole before it drowned.

No. They are separate lineages that became aquatic independently..
Just like bats and birds gained flight independently.

Wtf?
But hippos don't have fins or blowholes! And hippos are herbivorous! Whales aren't! They have to evolve from seals, not hippos!

Hippos and elephants both have tusks, and they also have four toes.

How can you possibly say that the carnivorous whales are related to the herbivorous pachyderm family!?
