Crossword Genius

Search for swimmer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fish

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'search' is the first definition.
(fishing is a kind of searching)

'swimmer' is the second definition.
(fish is a kind of aquatic vertebrate)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for fish that I've seen before include "To try to catch" , "Aquatic creature(s)" , "Burbot or turbot, for example" , "Search" , "counter in various games" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
