In any case, the notice says that whoever wants to see Venice need to plan it well as the city is flooded very often. This autumn the water levels were the 7th highest since they started measuring the levels in 1872 (would be interesting to know though when the other 6th highest have taken place!). Some weeks ago 70% of Venice's main parts where apparently flooded and the picture is tourists having a bath on Piazza San Marco.
My experience of Piazza San Marco in 2005 when I was exchange student in Italy, luckily no swimming involved.
