From the CNN reports he had pretty much slowed down before hitting the water, and that this was an aborted take-off.
So he didn't land on water, he rolled off the runway, across the field, and if he had a few hundred more feet it wouldn't have hit the water at all.
Very different from trying to land a jet on water from full flight.
