Ball game team near swimming location (8)
I believe the answer is:
poolside
'swimming location' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'ball game team near' is the wordplay.
'ball' becomes 'pool ball' (pool ball is a kind of ball).
'game team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team. I am not sure about the 'game' bit.).
'near' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pool'+'side'='POOLSIDE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for poolside that I've seen before include "next to lido" , "where bathers congregate" , "where lifeguard may be found" .)
