Reach a swirling river (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrive

'reach' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a swirling river' is the wordplay.
'swirling' indicates an anagram.
'river' with letters rearranged gives 'rrive'.
'a'+'rrive'='ARRIVE'

(Other definitions for arrive that I've seen before include "Come to; succeed" , "Turn up" , "(Of time) come about" , "Reach destination or desired position" , "Reach intended destination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
