Default Looking for advice/thoughts

Hello TCT members! I'm looking for some thoughts and advice that I might not have thought of or considered.

Tom and I are contemplating being spotters at a triathalon event at Moraine Park in PA. We would be in our kayaks to assist anyone needing help. We don't foresee any problems but I was just thinking through what we should do if a swimmer would get in trouble. Should we have something to throw to them? Should it be the rope on the kayak, or something else. Should they just hang onto the kayak handle? Let them rest or tow them in? The event organizer will probably give instructions but I have never been in a situation where I was in the kayak and a swimmer needed help. The event is scheduled in 2 weeks so the water will still be quite chilly.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks, Darla
