Our marina (400 slips) still allows swimming (and paddleboarding, and maui mats, and floaties, and water polo and...) anywhere in the yacht basin and fairways so dock ladders are very convenient for climbing out after a swim. The slipholders can choose to install them or not at the end of the fingers. I keep waiting for the marina to outlaw all that recreational swimming for liability's sake but the slipholders would probably riot. They have posted signs for years that say "Swimming is not advised..." but water sports are half the fun of life at the marina, especially for all the kids. Just have to be very careful and make sure you're well clear if you're firing up the engines or coming in.
