Never seen the ladder idea. I'll have to try that. Thanks.

My suggestion would be to let the swimmer hang on to his stern (if
needed he can push down). I'd only pull the 'wet' boat about 1/3 up (to
a stable position, leaving 2/3 of the weight on the water.), then I
would let the swimmer climb (ladder) in from his stern. Of course I let
the boat slip gently back into the water - no reason to take it all the
way over.
