Swim to shore as smoothly as you can. Splashing will attract predators.

As to the question you asked, the thing to do is to wake up.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Get out of the water if you are in it.

Swim in a perpendicular position, with your legs down, as this is more difficult for these animals to attack than the usual horizontal position for swimming.

Try not to splash, or they might think your hand or foot is a fish.

If one does attack, hit it in the eye.

In reality, alligators are normally scared of humans.  If the gator hisses of charges, back away.  It is probably protecting its nest, and will go back to it as soon as you are gone.

If it comes toward you with its mouth open, it's probably begging.  Somebody has been feeding it.  So call the authorities to have it removed, as this is a dangerous situation.
