Not having superspeed in general.

Name one character that has superspeed but can't run fast."
Regardless he's stated and writers have stated his muscle movement moves faster on land/air given that he has all that water pressure off him. I've never seen it suggested that super swimming is a superpower of his. It's just he moves at great speeds in that form of mobility same with reacting and leaping. In DC Legends Aquaman had trouble moving on land at first because he felt to light and was trying to keep his feet on the ground.
At best the fish instance shows considerable speed in the fact that Aquaman was long gone afterwards. Faster might be a stretch but Superman believed he was Kryptonian nonetheless with his swimming speed. There's as well the Wonder Woman trailing thing.
Regardless you just suggested he swims at superspeed when originally you were trying to suggest characters that have super speed have to be able to run fast. So all together it's superspeed nonetheless
I don't know why I didn't mention it sooner but Green Lantern is another great example of a character who can move at superspeed but doesn't run at said speeds.
Whether Thor is a Speedster has no interest to me I just didn't agree with the run/superspeed notion and wanted to drop my 2 cents in.
