A 4-foot gator was found at the bottom of the YMCA pool on Clearlake Road in Cocoa. The lifeguard had to quickly stop a woman before she got into the water with the temperamental swimmer.

"She goes, 'That's not a gator.' We kept walking and, sure enough, she goes, 'Oh my God, that's a gator!'" said lifeguard Tim Phiopot.

Ironically, the swimmer is an Auburn fan and she was wearing an anti-Gators shirt in honor of Saturday's Florida-Auburn game.

Trappers were brought in to remove the small reptile.
