陸ではのらくらしとっても水の中ではそりゃあ素早い
I don't quite understand しとっても form here.
I guess the whole sentence will be
Even though they're slow on land, they're very quick in water.
Is しとっても another form of していても or しておいても?

のらくらしとっても is a contraction of のらくらしておっても, which is a dialectal version of のらくらしていても.
- In casual speech, て + おる contracts to とる.
- This おる is the same as progressive-いる, but used mainly in western Japan. See: おる in honorific contexts
