Slippery swimmers (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eels

'slippery swimmers' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eels that I've seen before include "Smooth fishes" , "Fish (that may be jellied)" , "Sea snakes among lees" , "Conger --; jellied --" , "Jellied --, traditional dish" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The New York Times, the Newsday, the LA Times and the Universal.
