DALLAS, May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- With the weather warming up across the country and the school year drawing to a close, children of all ages are ready to jump into the pool.

Scott was an Army specialist serving in Iraq when an accident cost him the use of his legs. He found healing in the Wounded Warrior Project, in his work to mentor young people, and in wheelchair sports. Last month, a magnificent throw earned Scott an American record and a spot on the U.S. Paralympic team.
