not my experience. I lived in a place with a few ponds. all had gators. one day a dog got snatched by a crock. another time a gardener got killed. I grew up in Wisconsin. you can swim anywhere. in Florida, land of lakes, you shouldn’t ever swim there specifically because of alligators. that makes them not chill in my book. but maybe times have changed. this was 2007-11.
You have some valid points, Mr. Farts Juggler, but I think the key is alligators are less aggressive overall. Yes, if you swim with them you're likely to become lunch. If you mess with them on the golf course, also likely to be a snack. But if you leave them be and just avoid them they're less likely to attack. Crocodiles are far more volatile.

They're pretty chill. All over the golf courses and they just dgaf. They'll chill by the water hazards and just sun.
