Don't make waves? (4,4,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
swim with the tide
'don't' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'waves?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'waves?' could be 'tide' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'tide' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'make' is the link.
(Other definitions for swim with the tide that I've seen before include "Conform" , "How a crawler, in the main, may" , "Submit to majority opinion" , "following current movement" , "bathe down river, perhaps?" .)
