A practice swim turned intense when an alligator attacked a triathlon coach. The coach, 31 years old, was in the water with athletes he trains. They were preparing for an upcoming event by simulating the course.

The group had entered the river from a boat ramp. Their plan was to follow the course to build confidence and reduce nerves before the actual event.

Further details about the incident are available from the source, including the coach's account of what happened during the attack.
