Why not? He's vastly stronger than either Venom or Riot, going by actual screen feats. Seriously, what stops Peter from outright tearing the symbiotes off the hosts if he gets a chance? We know it's doable, as we see Riot do it to Venom during the final battle at one point.
Not saying Spider-Man does win, but how people can write him off completely considering the strength disparity (and the disparity in actual skill, speed and agility IMO) is weird IMO.

Sure, Venom can swim quickly, but this isn't a race. And Spidey can easily make comparable leaps, and has actual webs to extend that range even further. And when it comes to actual combat speed, what Pete was doing at the end of Far From Home is beyond anything Venom has shown to date. The guy was dodging
Spoiler:Don't get me wrong. Venom and Riot are both very fast and agile. But not that fast or agile. At least not based on feats.
machine gun fire from multiple advanced Stark-tech combat drones while tearing them apart with his bare hands, in a narrow corridor, while unable to see or hear them. And then was also able to react to Mysterio trying to shoot him while distracting him with the final hologram at the end.
And Pete fights smartly nowadays as well. One of the things I liked in Far From Home is how they acknowledge that he's actually a genius in his own right. And we see this in his fights now as well, with him using his webbing and the environment to his advantage, setting up little traps etc. I mean, yeah,
Spoiler:
he got tricked by Mysterio. But so did everyone else. And that is more down to Peter's trusting nature and wanting to see the best in people, as opposed to a lack of intelligence.

Will have to put video clips together (once available) but I think Venom may be jumping further and faster (without webbing or symbiotte stretching) in combat. Like I said his huge size might make the distance he leaps deceiving.

I dunno. Pete was hopping around like crazy when he was
Spoiler:
inside the giant hologram at the end, linking them all together with the webbing for the taser chain. And some of those leaps looked to be pretty high/far. And he was doing them in rapid succession, on moving/unstable footing.
