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

I'd definatley have to say that 'talent' is nothing but a head start.
But coming from a triathlon background, i'd also have to say that swimming is the hardest to catch up on if your not born with a natural 'talent' in it already.
Out of all the advantages you could have, i'd say that 1. your natural level of bouyancy, and 2. your height, make the biggest immediate difference to how fast you move through the water.
