Time pedalo moved for young swimmer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tadpole

'young swimmer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'time pedalo moved' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't'.
'moved' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pedalo' anagrammed gives 'adpole'.
't'+'adpole'='TADPOLE'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for tadpole that I've seen before include "youngster" , "Young amphibian" , "Larval form" , "Future frog maybe" , "Young Kermit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
