Polar bears are remarkable swimmers. They can swim long distances (up to 40+ miles) and steadily for hours to get from one piece of sea ice to another and can reach speeds of up to 6 mph in the water Their large paws are specially adapted for swimming, which they'll use to paddle through the water while holding their hind legs flat like a rudder.
