WATCH: Mama bear takes dip in pool, shows cubs how to swim
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A mama bear felt that it was the perfect time to teach her two cubs how to swim last week.
California resident, Ricky Martinez, captured the adorable family at their pool on May 6.

The video shows the mom leading the way to the pool before taking a dip. Her cubs, appearing to be hesitant to try swimming out, watched her from the edge of the pool.
“Cuteness overload… New bear family in town, and they’re also the smallest cubs we’ve ever seen,” Martinez wrote on Instagram.
After testing the waters a bit, the cubs ultimately decided that day wasn’t the right time to go swimming, and instead wandered around the backyard of the home.
All three bears got into the homeowner’s patio and furniture before the cubs wanted to climb a nearby tree.
The babies appeared to get roughly three feet up the tree stump before calling it a day and taking off from the home.
