I vaguely remember seeing signs when I stayed there several years ago, but the water wasn't very clean looking and I had no inclination to swim in it anyway.
I don't think Marriott showed good faith here... apparently they didn't even have large signs warning guests about crocodiles. Disney knew for years that it had a serious alligator problem and didn't take action until an innocent infant was killed by one... the family wasn't from Florida so they really weren't aware about alligators at Disney's own resorts.
