'water lover going' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'back in swimming or fishing?' is the wordplay.
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'gorf' is hidden within 'swimming or fishing'.
'gorf' written backwards gives 'FROG'.
