Does Practice Make Perfect?

Does Practice Make Perfect? I just heard a swim coach working with a masters club. She said practice makes perfect. What she was teaching should never be taught. I don't think practice makes perfect, do you?

    There was an interesting comment by Glenn on Go Swim: I'll only say one thing which a great coach recently told me after a talk... "perfect makes paralysis". Nobody can be perfect, and demanding it leads to too much structure and loss of flow. Again, I didn't say it, but once I realized what he said, I changed how I explain things.
