The Bridge cites an anecdote explaining how Scott Helvenston was destined to become a SEAL:
When he was about 4, his mother said, some college football players taunted him at the neighborhood pool, saying he was too little, the pool was for grownups. Scott dashed angrily to the diving board, tore off his flotation vest and, before she could stop him, dove in and swam the length of the pool.Underwater.
