A swimmer discovered an alligator at the bottom of a Central Florida YMCA pool on Friday morning.

The gator, which was about 4 feet long, was found swimming in the pool, which is located on the campus of Brevard Community College on Clearlake Road in Cocoa.

A YMCA worker joked that the alligator was targeting her because she was wearing an Auburn Tigers sweatshirt.

"It's a good omen because (gators) are scared of Auburn Tigers," Barbara Burton said.

The Florida Gators play Auburn on Saturday night.

Officials who removed the alligator released it into wetlands located nearby, Local 6 News reported.
