Backswimmers swim on their backs. They have cream colored wings and a dark underbelly. They also bite. They are found at the bottom of a shallow pond, and close to some plants.
Boatmen swim on their stomachs and don't bite. They are found on the surface of the water.
Water boatmen are sometimes confused with backswimmers, which are generally larger bugs that swim upside down and deliver a painful bite. from the web
They are called Backswimmers or Water Boatmen, believe it. In Jamaica, I've seen them bigger than the palm of your hand.
Water boatmen eat algae and aquatic plants.
When a pool has gone green then all kinds of creatures will find a home in the water every thing from mosquito larvae to tadpoles. It is also a far more dangerous situation because should a child fall into the water. the time spent looking and not being able to locate may be just enough to mean the difference between a successful rescue and a brain damaged or dead child.
Some species of aquatic insects, such as water boatmen and backswimmers, carry air bubbles under their wings to help them float and breathe while underwater. This adaptation allows them to glide on the water's surface and extract oxygen from the trapped air bubble.
Water boatmen believe is the family Corixidae. These insects are flat, boat-shaped and long. These insects are not dangerous.
I think that watre boatmen just eat the pond water but i dont think my answer is right because im only a kid
In ponds and streams.Note that Water boatman, in the US means Corixidae, small plant eating insects.In Britain, it can also mean the Notonectidae (called backswimmers in the USA) which swim upside-down on the surface and are predators. They swim with two long legs that look like oars.See the Related Link

Salt water pools are in fact chlorine pools part of the salt is turned into chlorine by the salt water chlorinater If it works in a normally chlorinated pool it should also work in a salt water pool. However you should check if there is any metallic ingredient like copper in it as these are not recommended in salt water pools.
they can do but they usually swim alone
