Sounds a bit like Callitriche heterophylla (water starwort), but the leaves are too big. Maybe some kind of Potamogeton? The ones I know have fairly large floating leaves, but I don't know all the species.

I think you got it!!!
If not C, heterophylla, it's gonna be one of the Callitriche. The descriptions and habitat are perfect, the photos pretty durned close. I think it's too hard to go by pics when plants are so variable but these are the closest I've seen yet.

Also take a look at Lysimachia nummularia, which has round fingernail-size leaves, opposite along the trailing stems. The Callitriche I've seen have smaller leaves and not so round, although I learned yesterday there's a bunch of other Callitriche spp I've never seen.
