The U.S. Navy Parachute Team “The Leap Frogs” began in 1969 when Navy SEALs and Underwater Demolition Team members volunteered to perform at weekend air shows. The team was officially commissioned “The Leap Frogs” in 1974 by the Chief of Naval Operations. The Leap Frogs are made up of active-duty Navy SEALs, Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC). Each member has conducted real-world operations before volunteering to join the Leap Frogs. Following a three-year commitment with the team, they will return to their operational units
