Reality[]
Being able to move across the surface of water without going into it has been shown to exist in real life. Insects known as Hemiptera can stand and move across water, they can also move fast thanks to their ability to “glide” on water. Humans are actually able to run on water with enough speed and mastery of leg strength, however, humans eventually fall in in swift time, so humans can only cross ponds and small rivers without falling in.
