Six legs? I suspect this is an insect, not a spider. Spiders have 8 legs. It looks a bit like one of the group of "skimmer" insects, but I would have to look in one of my insect books. The "skimmers" (not a technical name, of course) are noted for using surface tension for skimming along on the surface of the water, sometimes at amazing speeds.
