Everyone has given good advice. persistence, patience and focus are key. As for how long; In my experience with all the sports I participated in, If someone kept at it every week/weekend. they would reach their potential in about 3 years give or take.
after that the advances in skill/speed seem to taper off. exceptions to the rule of course.
