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

'flow of water' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'sent back to correct swimmer' is the wordplay.
'sent back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'to correct' becomes 'edit' (edit can mean to correct or emend).
'swimmer' becomes 'eel' (eels swim).
'edit'+'eel'='editeel'
'editeel' written backwards gives 'LEE TIDE'.
