Woman has quiet swim (3)
I believe the answer is:
dip
'swim' is the definition.
(dip is a kind of swim)
'woman has quiet' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'di' (**).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano').
'di'+'p'='DIP'
(Other definitions for dip that I've seen before include "Duck" , "baptism" , "Lower into liquid" , "Depression in a surface" , "Lower into water for short swim" .)
