You walk, like this common pond skater (Gerris lacustris):
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/40s
I also noticed a spider doing the same. No idea what kind of spider this is, though (edit: it's a wolf spider, thanks @mweich!):
Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO100, f4, 1/80s
Have fun swimming!
It's a wolf spider. The last two pictures in this post show a wolf spider doing the same thing. In a flooded rice field rather than a peat bog.
Good work getting a shot of a water strider, they don't stay still very long!

Thanks for the identification!
And no, they move around all the time, I had tried before, but this is the first time I got a decent photo of a water strider.

The water looks like that because it is a small stream in a peat bog.

I've seen spiders run across water before. It's so strange. I wish I could do that at times. I've only known of one man who could do that. (A frozen pond doesn't count.)

I had one coming towards me as I was treading water once. I had never seen one walk on water before, I thought I was hallucinating.

My GF had a fit, which was funny. I shouldn't have laughed, though.
