AUBURN, California (KCRA) — A video taken by a KCRA 3 viewer showed a mama bear and her cub taking a dip in an Auburn pool on Tuesday.

It’s the perfect time to take a dip as temperatures creep up across Northern California.

In the video, the bear cub initially gets in the pool before it’s corralled by its mother to get out. But soon after the cub gets out, the larger bear hops in to show the cub how it’s done.

The person who took the video said it’s not the first time they’ve been visited by some bears looking to cool off. In fact, the viewer joked that it’s been hard to keep the pool clean ahead of summer.
