Corpse size has a lot to do with it. I wouldn't swim in even a large pool with a dead human in it (knowingly), but one dead fish or rodent or dozens of dead tadpoles or bugs? Not an issue.

Heck, most household swimming pools have dozens of dead bodies in them, but they're 99% insects.

What about a dead baby?

Dead babies don't care how many bodies there are.
