Look up "sea squirt larvae" or tunicate larvae. They look like this......but no idea how they'd get in your pool in Missouri unless you've been throwing sea shells in the pool or some other sea-borne items. Wierd.

My wife touched them while cleaning the pool and it was slimey and she flipped out ..
she has a major issue with frogs and thought it was the beginning of a tadpole .. She yelled for me and I'm a big discover channel watcher big into science guy but sat there in disbelief for about 10 minutes because I honestly have never seen anything like this before. If it was one I could chalk it up to something believable but there were like a Colony of them in the net .. All seemed lifeless but looked to have been alive at some point. Just creepy and weird like a mini freshwater jellyfish I really am clueless

This is going to drive me nuts. The tail thing is a flagellum , just like a sperm and would clearly allow it to be motile in the water. But what the heck would get in your pool! Have you introduced anything new unto the pool that could "hatch" these things? Gotta figure this one out!
OH NO YOU DID NOT say it looks like sperm!!!!!!!!!! The wife will never get in the pool again! Please get one or two out and find a science board on line that might know! CRAZY!!!!!!

Do they appear to have legs or "claws" to hang on to things with?
I found something online that was talking about drone fly larvae ("rat tail maggots") in, well, an outhouse/latrine. Maybe?

Looks kinda like the bird poop sac that was in a thread last week minus the poop. But alien works too.
Ohhhh. I'm. I'm curious and I would be so grossed out!

I agree it looks like the part of a plastic bag that's poked through and hangs at the self check lane at the grocery store. The pictures that look 3D look like the "head" section has curled up a little.
Well, I've seen a horse fly, I've seen a dragon fly, I've even seen a house fly, I heard a fireside chat, and I saw a baseball bat, but I've never seen anything like THAT!
saga continues lol. hope you get a sample and take it to extension service . Maybe a bird dropped it in and it multiplied then dies in your pool eco-structure.
