Lido with black stripe, swimming pool (6,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pocket billiards

'pool' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'lido with black stripe swimming' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'swimming' indicates anagramming the letters (letters swim around into a new order).
'black'+'stripe'='blackstripe'
'lido' after 'blackstripe' is 'blackstripelido'.
'blackstripelido' anagrammed gives 'POCKET BILLIARDS'.

(Another definition for pocket billiards that I've seen is " game".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
