              Local Legend Spotlight

              Ventura Community has many local legends and if you’ve hired someone  to teach your kids to swim there is a good chance you know or have heard of “Mean Marjean”  or  “Mean Marjean the Swimming Machine”  She has taught swimming for 67 years, teaching thousands of kids and multiple generations how to swim.   She is known for guaranteeing that your kids will be able to swim in 8 lessons. She has a technique that is proven and yet she is known more for how she is “mean” to parents and sometimes the kids.  Marjean has observed that parents often coddle their kids too much these days and they need to allow her to teach them to swim without getting in the way.   Speaking from my personal experience, observing Marjean teach my 4 year old and 2 year old how to swim, I appreciated her firm fairness.  The mean Marjean only came out when rules were not followed and parents or kids attempted to take short cuts. It reminded me of spending time with my late Grandmother, there is deep love but firm fairness embedded in every decision.

              Here is Marjean’s short read biography, I highly recommend it if you know Marjean. https://www.amazon.com/Caught-Guppies-Whales-Salmon-Century/dp/1456099787

              Marjean is retired now but she teaches on occasion, she can be reached at 805-647-6374
