episode

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'notable experience' is the definition.
'episode' can be an answer for 'experience' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'notable' bit.

'swimming so deep around island' is the wordplay.
'swimming' indicates an anagram (letters swim around into a new order).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'island' becomes 'i' (geographical abbreviation).
'so'+'deep'='sodeep'
'sodeep' with letters rearranged gives 'epsode'.
'epsode' placed around 'i' is 'EPISODE'.
