I would not put them in the water. Most ponds as they age have problems with too much nutrients rather than too little. Adding the grass will just add to the nutrient load.

A pond will get shallower on its own from the things that go into it. But as far as I know ponds never get deeper on their own. The more we can keep out (other than the stuff we want there like structure) the better.
