If a rescue is attempted (and I am no expert) I believe a large net would be needed (perhaps a blanket could be used) and the swan should be approached from the side or behind and get the wings pinned to the body. They are a lot heavier than a duck to lift into a boat. Then a large dog crate would be needed to transport it. This would need to be several people, I would guess. I really hate to see a living creature suffer.
