No, these aren't either of those. They are oval in shape, pointed on each end, and have small legs (I suppose...they swim so fast that I don't see their legs).

Re: Strange insects
We call them "click beetles." I'm no entomologist so I don't know what they actually are, but I think I know what you are talking about, we get them regularly. If you turn them upside down on the concrete you will see why we call them click beetles! They have a pronounced mandible if i am thinking they are what we get. My daughter rescues them from their watery fate every morning.
