A coach can't be great without a great swimmer. Perfect exalmple is Ian Croker. If you have seen Unfiltered you know that early on in his carrer he trained in a pool with broken lane lines and faded lines on the bottom. There is probable no one else on earth that could have been on that team and become that good.
I believe that every one is born with a certain amount of potential. It is the coaches job to make the most of that potential. Some swimmers reach their maximum easier than others.
When a swimmer comes along with great potential its takes a great coach to make them a great swimmer. But I think a swimmer can still become very good with just a good coach. A great coach can make bad swimmers medicre, and mediocre swimmers good. But a great coach can't just make anyone a great swimmer, they need someone with great potential to do it, thats why I think it is a swimmer that makes the coach.
