'aquatic legend' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'she controls men's swimming' is the wordplay.
'swimming' indicates an anagram (letters swim around into a new order).
'she'+'controls'+'mens'='shecontrolsmens'
'shecontrolsmens' is an anagram of 'LOCH NESS MONSTER'.

Can you help me to learn more?
