I'm asking this in all seriousness....

I seen calls for support kayakers to help with various swims - triathalons 
and the sort - like this one.  Are there skills needed by the kayaker in 
this situation?  I've not seen instructions or specifics about assisting 
swimmers from a kayak in any books.  I assume that if they get in trouble 
they hang on?  tow to shore? or ?
