WARNING: The video may be graphic for some. Lynnette Bellin, a swim instructor who teaches self rescue lessons, said she was on her weekly swim in the lake when the otter encounter occurred. "It was teeth and claws and I was pushing it away," Bellin said, describing what she says went on for about 5 minutes. abc7news.com/19772035
