As far as I know you can swim anywhere you want but if you go too far out of the clear swimming area then you risk dealing with alligators. Last i was there , some people swam across the Santa Fe river, towards the back of the park, but water is murky brown
If you camp there you can even swim at night.
You can swin in 2 springs. The deep area by the main vent is larger than the jump area so you can snorkel deep withiut being jumped on. There are also lots of shallow places for the little ones.
Will the dock be repaired? And will it be this Summer?
The previous answers says about it all.
As far as I know it is deep where you jump,then closer to the rope where people take their tube's and paddle board's to go down,you can stand. We haven't gone any further yet
