Just my personal opinion, but does anyone else think this is a pretty bad idea? If someone is way off course or having problems, being picked up is one thing. Giving said swimmer the opportunity to get in again (with perhaps the same or worse results) doesn't seem to be very rational.
I think (and this is just my uninformed personal opinion) that if the swimmer is just off course but not in any other distress, then repositioning would be okay - but if they were struggling I agree that putting them back in the water doesn't seem wise.
