The swimmer gives us a beam (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ray

I believe this is a double definition.

'the swimmer' is the first definition.
(ray is a kind of fish)

'a beam' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'gives us' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ray that I've seen before include "Beam or flatfish" , "Shaft of light" , "Beam of light or flat fish" , "Second note for the flat fish" , "Flash < Movie Player" .)
