I was thinking about planting a few bald cypress near the bank of my excavated pond. Would there would be any problems with doing this?

My parents have several large bald cypress growing on the bank of one of their ponds. This is a 1 acre pond that has a small island on it, and there are also a couple of bald cypress growing on the island. The trees are large and have been there for years, the ones on the island have put out a couple knees but there have never been any leakage or water level problems. There are not any trees on or near the dam.
