Do not swim in rivers, ponds or lakes in Florida

Rusty Shackleford 🇺🇸 :

It’s rare because most people in Florida know better than to swim in freshwater in Florida. Unless it’s a spring or the ocean, I’m not going in

Gina Cooks :

😩I wouldn’t swim in any body of water in Florida.

MarketplaceFlips&Tips :

Why is everybody in this comment section acting like we don’t swim in lakes all throughout Florida every single day with alligator!! like she did something weird or out of the ordinary every lake in Florida has alligators and they are 99% of the time scared of humans.

Mr. Useless Info :

Why would anyone willingly go swimming in water ANYWHERE in Florida. Heck I would check my pool first before I got in.

Tracie :

Living in Florida I would have to have fallen in the water. There is NO WAY I would ever willingly get in water in Florida.

As a Floridian, please never trust a body of water in Florida. There are zero safe ponds, rivers, etc…
