then how excatley did he SWIM up?
It was so thick and starting to become solid. It was swirling and sucking the team down into the hole.
The reason the word "swim" was used because it was the counter force such as a waterfall or whirlpool which Namor is adept to.
I would post scans, but I have it in Essential Defenders and its not in color. Im not sure if anyone wants to see it.

if by swim up you meant he used his wings, well storm can flash-freeze his ankle wings, as well as the rest of his body. she froze omega red in a statue of ice in seconds, she could easily do the same to namor
No like swimming. It was like he was swimming in water. Though it wasnt water.
Ankle wings used only for flight.

Well the medium he was moving through in that dimensional maelstrom was thick enough to be akin to water so that is a poor comparison to how Namor would fare in a huuricane which is directed solely at him. Big difference.
Namor needs to breathe Storm can restrict him in a hurricane and thin the air dramatically while increasing the ambient temperature around him this would dehydrate him and thus weaken him potentially. The cold temperatures Namor experiences in the ocean depths are nothing to what Storm can generate. Wrapped in polymer restraints and with enemies fast approaching Storm flash freezed her restraints but her panic caused her to put more effort into it than was required because she not only froze and made brittle her restraints, but also the concrete balcony below her which fell through. Storm could very well freeze his wings temporarily grounding him, or she could do it to reduce the possibility of him escaping one of her hurricanes. Namors wings have been held before which prevented him from flying so this is a valid option for Storm.
Namor is durable but not to the extent of colossus for example. A repeated pounding and slamming into the ground via hurricane winds would hurt him a lot and eventually render him unconscious.
As StormFront said, Storm isnt limited to lightning, she also has recently added to her arsenal "sun lasers" lol which could very well do some damage.
Storm has fought alongside Namor before in crossover s, she has knowledge of Namor she knows of both his temperament and his powers. She would try to take him out quickly and efficiently knowing she isnt durable enough to withstand his attacks.

The same hurricane did restrict Surfer and Hulk. I don't think Storm could create anything like that.

He COULD throw a handful of rocks at Storm, just like she COULD block them with a jovian pressure field. However the proud warrior that Namor is isnt going to resort to throwing rocks at Storm as a first resort. That would be like admitting she is too much for him to tackle head on. A mere woman lol.
Come on from all you have read on Namor and i myself have read quite a bit can you really see the battle starting with him throwing rocks? Exactly. His pride and arrogance is his downfall. He would give Storm the seconds she needs to generate an overwhelming hurricane.

Thats not the point im making DC. The medium was so thick that Namor had to swim through it in a fashion. Air isnt nearly so thick, Namor wouldnt be able to "swim through it like that there would be no substance of sorts for him to make his way through. Thast why i said it was a poor comparison. On top of that this hurricane completely under storms psionic command will be solely focused on Namor, adapting to Namors movements as opposed to the dimensional maelstrom which was just operating in and around his vicinity.

I don't know...if they start from few feet away from each other, Namor may have time to get to Storm before she can do anything. He isn't slowpoke, he flew through the Manhattan to Statue of Liberty in few seconds...
She's still way faster than him and she knows she needs to keep him at bay. He's completely outclassed in the speed stakes
