Orcas (Killer whales) ARE known to prey upon Polar bears.
"no they can not the shark and the polar bear are both predators which means te polar bear might kill the shark with its sharp claws and because sharks swim in warm water not cold"
Polar bears rarely make kills on their main prey, seals, in open water. What makes you think a polar bear would be able to kill a SHARK in open water. 8 species of sharks have been spotted in the arctic region. Of these sharks the most likely to be found sharing the water with a polar bear is the Greenland Shark. This shark is one of the largest species of sharks and patrols underneath arctic ice sheets for fish, seals, and small whales. Sharks are opportunistic feeders and will "inspect" anything that is struggling in the water. A struggling polar bear could well make for a target for this shark, though there is no video evidence that I could find to prove it. Do sharks eat polar bears? Not really, they are clearly not a main prey source. Could a polar bear make for a target of opportunity for a shark? Absolutely, somewhere at some time a shark has eaten a polar bear. Guaranteed.
Do mamma polar bears kill her cubs?
NO THEY DON'T.
Think of it this way it is not like your mom would kill you.
Actually, yes they do. Boar bears (male bears) have been known to actively go about and kill young cubs if they are not watched by their mother or if the mother has been scared off or beaten so badly that she can no longer defend them.
Every living creature needs water to survive, so in that sense, yes.
They also need water for food, because that is where their main source comes from.
But they will not die if they don't swim.
The average Polar Bear will clean themselves while eating several times, before the kill is consumed. Normally the skin, and blubber is eaten first, and often the Polar Bear will stop, to clean up, using snow, or water, if any is close by. Then they will continue to finish the meat. They will clean again, when they are done, using water, again if nearby. But, if none is close, they will use snow, often they will rub their face, neck, and chest in the snow, and even just completely rolling in it. Like taking a bath.
