Help!!! I am guiding a visually impaired swimmer in a triathlon on Sunday 6/26. I know, I know. Please wait until after Sunday to chastise me. :-)
Anyway, I know I can swim on the side or behind my partner--not in front.
Does anyone have any experience guiding visually impaired swimmers in open water? I need basic guidelines (i.e. how to tether without constantly getting tangled), and/or a quick lesson on how to provide directions. My partner is completely blind so I cannot rely on visually cues (bright colors, etc.).
Thanks.
