I believe the answer is:

revolve

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'turn around' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'swedish car almost submerged in lake' is the wordplay.
'swedish car' becomes 'volvo' (I've seen this before).
'almost' means to remove the last letter (almost the whole word is kept).
'submerged in' means one lot of letters goes inside another (I've seen this in other clues).
'lake' becomes 'ree' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'volvo' with its last letter removed is 'volv'.
'volv' placed into 'ree' is 'REVOLVE'.

'to see' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for revolve that I've seen before include "Pirouette" , "Go round" , "Rotate" , "Turn round" , "Turn around" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
