Swimming is great fun and good exercise, but getting into and out of the water shouldn’t be an exercise in itself. It should be simple, quick, and comfortable, more like walking upstairs than climbing a steep ladder. Aqua Stairs has heard the debate about the value of angled dock stairs versus swim ladders, and we’re going to address it here. Swim ladders are mounted on a dock, swim platform, or watercraft, such as a pontoon boat. They are sturdy, handy, and reliable.

It’s safe, too; the steps on dock stairs are wide and textured to prevent anyone from slipping. Another attractive feat...
