When I go someplace, I assume the restrictions are in place for a reason, and I abide by them.
To me, Disney renting canoes at that pond sends a message that "no swimming" is not about any danger other than the water itself. Perhaps they didn't want to scare customers, but I think they should have had a picture of a gator along with a verbal warning.
As Min has already said, the fact that they are upgrading signage says that there is some admission of the current inadequacy of the ones in place.
