Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. Before arriving at practice, members of Florida's Montverde Academy swim team may have been thinking about a variety of things, the next meet, maybe an upcoming test. Once they got there, though, their thoughts became more singular. Where did this alligator come from? A three-foot gator was chilling at the bottom of their pool.
