of a Teen, 16 year old lifeguard saves a 10 year old from extremely strong waves, doesn't give up, doesn't back down.
He saved not only a life, but also declined support from other bystanders, adults & guards and told them to save themselves first, instead.
The fact that he never let go, never panicked, and never gave up to save himself is apex-predator heroics.
Mythical legends are made for men such as these.
