I found this in an unused pool which had basically become a pond and have no idea what it could be. It's about 3/4" long and contracts an expands to swim through the water.
CLOSED: unknown water insect?
This is a fly larva, likely that of a horse fly (Diptera: Tabanidae) - see http://bugguide.net/node/view/146960/bgimage
