Young swimmers in wild revels (6)

I believe the answer is:

elvers

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

'young swimmers' is the definition.
'elvers' can be an answer for 'swimmers' (elver is a kind of aquatic vertebrate). I am not sure about the 'young' bit.

'wild revels' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'revels' with letters rearranged gives 'ELVERS'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for elvers that I've seen is " Young eels".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
