Slithering swimmer (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eel

'slithering swimmer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eel that I've seen before include "Slippery type" , "Snake-like sea creature" , "Long smooth fish" , "Slender fish" , "elusive person" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
