They do not need to be fast, they have shells to protect themselves.And Because they're shell is too heavy! Do you have to carry your house around?
The term "Slow" is based on your perspective. From our perspective, turtles are slow because they move slower than we do and, indeed, even slower than other things their size. This is only true, however, on land. In the water they are actually very fast. For instance, a green turtle in the sea can reach nearly 20mph. So, the belief that turtles are slow is based on the perspective of a land creature, which turtles are for only brief periods of their life.
A group of turtles is called a bale or a nest. Turtles are known for their slow movement both on land and in water, and they have a protective shell that acts as their home wherever they go. They range in size and habitat, from small freshwater turtles to large sea turtles.
Turtles are generally slow movers, with their top speed varying depending on the species. On land, they may move at a pace of around 0.17 miles per hour (0.27 km/h), while some aquatic turtles can swim faster, reaching speeds up to 20 miles per hour (32 km/h).
they swim fast because that's how they are!
On land turtles are very slow, moving as slow as .2mph. In the water, however, some turtles can reach 22mph.

Because long neck turtles are slow on land.
well turtles are not that slow but i am pretty sure the only protection is its shell although a snapping turtle has its mouth
