Avoid where water's full of crap! Point taken - very reprehensible ultimately (6)

I believe the answer is:

swerve

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

'avoid' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'water's full of crap point taken very reprehensible ultimately' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'point' could be 'sw' (SW is an example) and 'sw' is found within the answer.
'very' could be 'v' (abbreviation) and 'v' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ere' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swerve that I've seen before include "Change course suddenly" , "Veer, turn sharply" , "Change direction suddenly as to avoid obstacle" , "Sudden deviation from straight course" , "Change course abruptly" .)
