Here's an inspiring video of a little boy who really hasn't had the easiest life.

Born without arms and a deformed foot, six-year-old Ismail comes from Bosnia, where most times those with disabilities face marginalisation and minimal help.

But thanks to swimming classes provided for children with disabilities, Ismail is finding a sense of purpose through doing something that he loves.

His swimming coach has helped Ismail overcome his fear of water, as well as his physical limitations, and taught him to swim. 

He's now won a gold medal for his achievements.

Simply brilliant!
