Polar bears - swimming

The swimming pool between bears and seals was divided by thick glass wall, but the seals flatly refused to be in the swimming pool at the same time like polar bears: "Look at that size and their appetite!" So when Northern and Standa went for swim the seals did something else like playing with beautiful beach ball. They learned how to balance it on the tip of their nose tossing it to each other and sliding on the ice. In the Spring time two mother seals were busy with their pups. So polar bears had swimming pool to themselves. In one afternoon they mastered breast stroke, like five times moving their arms to one side of the pool and the same to the other side, or just propel themselves by kicking. They turned around without touching the walls. They knew how to swim under the water, backstroke, and just lie on their back and look at the skies. By the end of the day they exhausted all possibilities of their tiny swimming pool and decided to go next day for diving instead. Copyright (c) Marie Neumann Pottsville, 2010
