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 it's pretty common on Alcatraz swims for big groups, which may mean that in practice it usually works out OK.
