swimming dock

Waterfront diving platform

A swimming dock is a platform extending into or floating on water, used for diving, sunbathing, or accessing swimming areas.

Unlike boat docks designed for mooring vessels, swimming docks are built for recreational water activities: The kids spent all afternoon jumping off the swimming dock.

They're common at lakes, summer camps, and waterfront properties.
