I’m coming back! How safe is the ocean for swimming?

Let’s google just for fun

June 15 2021, British woman attacked in lagoon in Puerto Escondido. Saved by her sister. Was in a medically induced coma in Mexico City, survived.

July 28, 2021, 18 year old from California bitten in Puerto Vallarta. Survived but apparently needs reconstructive surgery to walk.

October. 27, 2021, 24 year old attacked on beach in Neuvo Vallarta

October 27, 2021 12 year old bitten at Lagoon in Club Med, survived.

All of these folks were most likely “trespassing” in the gators home, rather than being spontaneously attacked without reason. That said, even though unprovoked attacks seem to be rare, if and when I see one, he will get a respectful amount of space just in case he doesn’t know he’s supposed to ignore me if I don’t irritate him.

Can't help but notice at least two of them mention "lagoon". DON'T SWIM IN LAGOONS! Not here. Not in Florida. Not anywhere where saurios live.

I'm still confident any thorough investigation will find one of the 3 basic rules was broken in each instance of an attack. These aren't African or Australian crocs who are much more aggressive than American crocs, themselves less aggressive than the American gators with whom millions of Floridians and other Gulf Coast residents live.

Two on the same day? Sounds like they need signage in Jalisco, too, same as we do here.
