something is alive in my pool...

Yep that's a water boatman. Heres a closer look


Also taken from the site is this description:

"The water boatman has flat hairy oar like legs. They use them to swim quickly through the water. Their mouths are weak. They eat algae. Water boatmen are the only water bug that don’t have a painful bite."

This description makes me question the validity of others saying they bite. Then again, I don't know how valid the above description is.

Regardless, you know what the bug is.
