Ralph,

What you've reported here seems reasonable.  I think there is a problem if
the two are more than a kayak's length apart.  I guess you push the boat
towards to poorer swimmer and try to encourage the other guy to head your
way.  Perhaps a paddle float could be tossed to the stronger of the two
while you pushed the boat to the weaker.
