water walking
Pond-skimming insect locomotion
Water walking is the miraculous or supernatural act of walking on the surface of water without sinking, most famously attributed to Jesus in the New Testament: Peter attempted to water walk toward Jesus but began to sink when his faith wavered.
The term extends to seemingly impossible feats or situations where someone defies natural limitations.
In fitness contexts, water walking refers to the exercise of walking through waist-deep water for low-impact resistance training.
