Key features
Why choose the Swim Dock floating platform
Plan a low profile platform around access, intended users, water conditions and maintenance.
Planned upkeep
Keep the walking surface clean and include the modules, couplings and mooring in the inspection and service plan.
Durable construction
The modules combine reinforced concrete with a cellular plastic core. Loading, stability and mooring are assessed for the site.
Non slip walking surface
The deck includes a non slip surface. Cleaning, access arrangements and intended use remain part of the site plan.
Adaptable and modular
Customised for personal, commercial or recreational use, in various sizes and shapes, and adaptable to different water depths and locations.
Winter operation planning
The winter plan is agreed for the site, including water conditions, ice exposure and the mooring arrangement.
Site-specific wave assessment
The module mass and platform geometry affect movement in waves. Width and layout are assessed against the exposure and intended use.
Prepared for services
All floating docks are prepared for electrical wiring and plumbing installation, and connect with a durable coupling system of wire and rubber.
Applications
Where a Swim Dock fits
Personal, commercial or recreational use on lakes, harbors and beaches.
Swimming platforms
A low profile, non slip platform to swim from and rest on.
Small boats and kayaks
Docking small boats and kayaks close to the water surface.
Clubs and commercial sites
Bathing clubs, campsites and waterfront businesses, with seasonal operation planned for the site.
Exposed locations
Module width, loading and mooring assessed against the wave conditions at the proposed site.
How it works
How the Swim Dock is built, assembled and used
Join the reinforced concrete modules into a low profile layout, with couplings and mooring specified for the site.
Swim Dock modules combine reinforced concrete with a cellular plastic core. A wire and rubber coupling system joins the sections into the chosen shape and size.
The layout is planned around access, loading, water depth and exposure. The modular structure can be extended or repositioned where the revised layout and mooring design permit it. Modules are prepared for electrical wiring and plumbing where included in the project.

Ecosystem
Swim Dock in a complete floating layout
The Swim Dock can be planned with the pontoons and wave protection around it.
Vikingegaarden plans and delivers the Swim Dock together with concrete pontoons, wooden and concrete floating pontoons and floating breakwaters, as part of the site-specific floating layout. Because every dock is prepared for electrical wiring and plumbing, our own marina equipment, such as service pedestals for power and water, lighting and access control, with connected service equipment managed on the Emiko platform, can be added where the site calls for it.

Product guide
Planning a floating swim platform for Nordic waters
Choose the platform around its users, access from shore, water conditions and seasonal operating plan.
Who Swim Dock is for
Swim Dock serves bathing clubs, campsites, waterfront businesses and other sites needing a low profile platform for swimming. It can also provide access for kayaks and small boats.
The documented 0.3 m profile keeps the platform close to the water. The site plan establishes access arrangements, intended users and the loads the layout must carry.
Choosing the size, shape and location
Module layout, water depth, loading and exposure are assessed together. The platform needs sufficient clearance through the site water-level range, with a mooring arrangement suited to the location.
Platform width and geometry affect movement in waves. Vikingegaarden helps select the layout for the intended use; a general depth or load figure should not replace the specification for the actual installation.
Concrete modules and deck access
Each module combines reinforced concrete with a cellular plastic core. The walking surface is non slip, with cleaning and access requirements included in the operating plan.
The structure and mooring are assessed for the site. Winter operation is agreed around local water and ice conditions rather than assumed from a general cold-weather description.
Assembly, couplings and later changes
The modules connect with a wire and rubber coupling system. Later changes or expansion are checked against the revised layout and mooring arrangement.
Modules are prepared for electrical wiring and plumbing where included in the project. Service equipment can be planned with the platform; connected equipment uses the Emiko platform for the agreed customer and operational functions.
Maintenance and seasonal operation
Keep the deck clean and remove leaves and other residues. The inspection plan also covers modules, couplings and mooring, with any repairs carried out as required.
Expected service life and winter arrangements are confirmed for the selected structure and location. Concrete pontoons and timber deck pontoons provide other formats for the surrounding waterfront layout.

Frequently asked questions about the Swim Dock
What provides buoyancy in Swim Dock?
The reinforced concrete modules contain a cellular plastic core. The structure, loading and mooring are specified for the site and the intended use of the platform.
How is the service life specified?
The expected service life is agreed for the selected modules, couplings and mooring, taking exposure and maintenance into account. The operating plan covers inspection, cleaning and repairs.
What maintenance is required?
Keep the walking surface clean and remove leaves and residues. Inspect the modules, couplings and mooring according to the site service plan, and arrange repairs when required.
Can I customise the shape and size of my swim dock?
Yes. The modular design lets you customise the shape and size of the swim dock according to your project so it meets the established requirements, and the platform can be adjusted or expanded later.
What water depth does Swim Dock need?
The required depth is determined for the selected layout, loading and water-level range. Provide the proposed location and depth information so clearance and mooring can be checked.
How is the platform load capacity determined?
Capacity is specified for the selected modules and layout. Describe the intended users, access and any equipment so the structure and mooring can be assessed for the required loads.
Can Swim Dock stay in the water over winter?
Winter arrangements are confirmed for the installation location. Ice exposure, water conditions and the mooring system determine whether the platform remains in place and what seasonal measures are required.
Is a swim dock suitable for kayaks and small boats?
Yes. With its low 0.3 m profile the platform sits close to the water surface, which makes it practical both to swim from and for docking small boats and kayaks.
Can electricity or water be installed on a swim dock?
The modules are prepared for electrical wiring and plumbing where included in the project. Vikingegaarden can coordinate lighting and service equipment with the platform layout and intended use.
