Any time you're in a river, lake, or moderately sized pond down here, you're swimming with gators. It's best just to not think about it.
Dont forget about bull sharks..........
I was wake boarding with some buddies (of course beer was involved) out in the St Johns there and one day I wiped out and was just sitting there treading water waiting for my drunk friends to come pick my ass up. In the back of my mind, all I thought about was getting grabbed by a gator (you could see them on land on both sides of the intercoastal). Before my friends came and got me, this big black head came out of the water right in front of my face. I flipped out and started kicking and punching anything I could because I thought I was about to be lunch. Turns out it was a manatee and it just swam right by me. Ever since then, I was always a little nervous to wakeboard that water.
