A Florida triathlete using a drone to film an instructional video on Lake Thonotosassa caught the moment he swam right into what he believes was a 12-foot alligator.
The athlete, who goes by J.C. Defeats, says he tussled with the gator before he was able to swim toward a dock. Defeats was taken to a hospital by a good Samaritan.
WFTS reports Defeats underwent a six-hour surgery after sustaining serious injuries to part of his skull, jaw, arms, and torso.

You are right. I was canoeing in Mayacka state park river (sp?) and it had dozens and dozens of HUGE Gators in it, & signs were up, warning people, DO NOT SWIM, GATORS are here! and right in front of one sign a family was swimming !

Since we all know that HUGE gators are EVERYWHERE in Florida, I don’t understand why he’s in the water, or how he could believe for one minute that he’d be ok? I worked close to this body of water, and next to the office parking lot is a very small pond with a 12 or 13 ft gator. I got nowhere near that pond which had a sidewalk right in front of it.

It’s posted everywhere in Florida not to get near the water. I saw the signs everywhere when I visited it’s shocking people aren’t reading these signs like it’ll you can’t read these signs you really shouldn’t come to me Colorado either because our signs are smaller yet some of the animals just as ferocious as an alligator.

If I want to swim so bad I'll go find a swimming pool. We don't have that many gators at the lake we go to but once I've seen a few where I used to swim I've never set foot in that water again. If you know there's gators there and there's signs that say don't get in water there's alligators and you still go in ehhhhh that's on you not me so you get attacked I ain't helping lol
