The Polar Bear Club is a well-illustrated exercise guide book within a delightful story. The setting is the beach where children are having fun stretching, warming up for their icy winter swim. Some of their exercises on the sand resemble various swim strokes: forward crawl, back crawl, and breast stroke. When in the water, they have a delightful surprise, "WOW, a real live polar bear "
