About twenty yards out into the Black Lake stands a giant floating dock. Though the top is flat, you’ll never find a Merperson sunning themselves on this space. Attached to each side is a ladder like you may find in a Muggle swimming pool. In the middle of the dock is a sturdy pole with a rope attached, perfectly suited for swinging out over the water and letting go (try not to belly-flop!). Off one side is a bright red slide, complete with a jet of water running down it so it’s always ready for passengers.

So if you get tired while swimming and playing around with your friends, drag yourself up on the dock and take a breather. Then when you’re ready, hop back in via the waterslide, rope swing, ladder, or a good old-fashioned cannonball!
