Are polar bears good swimmers?

The scientific name of the polar bear is Ursus Maritimusor "seagoing bear" reflecting the fact that it is often seen at sea up to 320 km from land and swimming at a speed of 5.5 km/hr, (a bit of math shows the bear has been swimming for 60 hours to get to that point and has 60 hours to get back)The polar bear's body fat provides buoyancy, and its large paws useful for walking on snow are equally adept at moving the bear in water.
