Americans must be aware of David Goggins for his remarkable contributions to the US Navy, for which he was awarded the VFW Americanism Award in 2018. After retiring from his reputed job, Goggins continued his passion for running marathons and doing the unimaginable. His extreme athletic activities earned him a Guinness World Record, and he got inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame in 2019.

But all the success he achieved in his career resulted from his troubled childhood. Facing abuse from his father and racial discrimination, Goggins was determined to uplift himself from poverty. However, he once dropped out of his United States Air Force Pararescue training as he was afraid of the water training routine involved in the course. But the netizens have found a clip of Goggins facing his fears head-on as he swims unimaginably.

The fear of water made Goggins opt out of military training once. However, he soon became aware of his instinct to become a Navy SEAL and worked on his desired weight and aquaphobia. Now online fitness enthusiasts are celebrating a throwback clip of The Toughest Man Alive. 

The Hustle Squad YouTube channel shared a clip with the following narration: “Without a doubt, I can always find David out here in the water doing the one thing he hated to do more than anything else during training.” The 6’1″ athlete’s hands and feet are tied as he jumps into a lake for a swim.
