Is natural talent largely irrelevant to great success? Or is it "you've either got it or you don't"?

Actually I think talent is one of those unfortunate words that ten people can use and mean ten different things. Is being 6'6" a "talent"? Is having a lot of fast-twitch muscles a "talent"? Is being hard-working a "talent"? I think the question is what attributes help one excell at swimming and which of those are mutable and which are immutable?
