It's not a bad idea to recruit a friend, sometimes starting out it might take a couple tries to figure out how to get back in your yak and assistance is helpful. Especially if you're not successful after you try a couple times it's surprising how tired you can get and then you'll end up just hanging on the side and floating with your yak. I know a couple guys who tried in a pool a couple times before they attempted it out in the salt, something to consider. You could even start shallow to get the mechanics of where to grab the yak and how to pull yourself in then work your way to the deep end!
