I live in Florida (Central) and have just fished 1 spider out of the bottom of my pool, and there are 2 more running around down there. All 3 alive. I took a couple photos if anyone can Identify.

Possibly a wolf spider or a dark fishing spider. Both can bite. Many insects can survive being submerged as they are able to close off their air breathing orifices and can survive a lot longer than humans can without oxygen.

Easily smooshed if it gets too close.

Nice of you to post one of the dwarf ones. We don't want to scare all of the tourists away.
Snowbirds Winter visitors on the other hand ....

Don’t even get me started on the snowbirds … May 29th (Memorial Day) can’t come fast enough in my opinion … Utah, Montana, Wyoming, etc, can have their “residents” back ….
