Well, as long as she knows she's not in the water, then she's not likely
to encounter an alligator in a way that presents any sort of danger.  It's
not like alligators just walk around in the woods stalking prey, you know.
Besides, even a non-athlete could easily out-run an alligator, even if
the alligator was insane and decided to give chase for 20 feet before
it ran out of gas.
