Not to pile it on ;D
But IF you've never seen a bear swim, you'd be in for a surprise.
I chased one that I caught in mid-lake once. I was just out of camera range and thought it would make a good shot.
I paddled as hard as I could for a 1/4 mile and couldn't narrow the distance.
Bears swim as well as they smell.
Pristine (clean) yes, Island campsites, not so much ;)
