...decided to take a dip in the river... Doesn't sound like a native or long-term resident...

How can you tell ahead of swimming that there are alligators lurking? Is there a method?If if is fresh water and you are in Florida there probably is a gator in the water.

How long can alligators breathe underwater? Alligators can stay underwater for much longer than humans. A typical dive might last 10-20 minutes. In a pinch an alligator can stay submerged for up to two hours if it is at rest. And, in very cold water, an alligator can last up to eight hours submerged. GoogleIn the old days gators were afraid of people. Then people from up North starting feeding them to get a great tourist picture and gators lost their fear. That said, if you're swimming in a lake stay away from tall grasses - and watch out if you're near a lake during mating season 'cause gators will get out of the water a walk around looking for a mate.

“How can you tell ahead of swimming that there are alligators lurking?”
Just swim in Florida. And to add to it, if you swim in salt water or fresh water attached to salt water in Florida you are probably being watched by a shark. (Normally a bull)

While I pray for a speedy recovery, I also pray that this woman use some common sense in the future.

I stopped reading right there.

Was just about to post the same question. Then, contrary to Freeper tradition, I read the responses here. Good point!

“pulled herself up back onto her dock.”
She lives there, and has a dock, and swims there?
This is one dumb broad.
I have to shoo the gators off my dock, just to get into my skiff. I’m not going to wade or swim there.
