More than likely they are tadpoles. Frogs lay their egs in water, strings sometimes contain "thousands" of eggs. Then they hatch into tadpoles, and then eventually they morph into frogs. They can start out very, very little.
I doubt it's mosquito, the lay dormant and don't move around. They stay floating among stagnate water.

They're probably mosquito larvae. I took a summer course in South Carolina. The ashtray outside was full of standing rainwater. The little things swim around, it's nasty.
Hard to tell without a picture, but I'm assuming mosquito larvae are more common than tadpoles.

Watch the little fellas. Tadpoles will grow and eventually develop into frogs. Mosquito larvae will simply hatch. They don't get any bigger, but tiny as they are, they swim around and do indeed resemble little tadpoles.
