Distance swimmer or sprinter?

How can one truly know what swimming distances one is best suited for? Can it be possible that somebody is better suited for distance but it is not showing due to low yardage in training? Are there some quick ways to figure this out?

    I would use a three step process: 1) have them swim 8 x 25m all out with fins for time on a long interval 2) have them swim 20 minutes for distance 3) ignoring any numbers from steps 1 and 2, ask them which one they enjoyed doing more. :D
