11 Things That Separate The Good Swimmer From The Great Swimmer

From the Swimming World website...

"This is the difference between being good and being great."
That quote has been engrained in my head since I started swimming at 6 years old. I believe every coach I have ever swum for has said those words.
But what really is the difference between good and great? Is there a simple black and white answer? I think the answer varies, but I do believe much of greatness is defined by the mental toughness of the individual and how they tackle adversity. What does it take to become great? It takes your mentality, pushed to its limits.
