It would depend on whether we are talking about a floating jetty:<br>

The first one is a pier but the second one isn't.<br>

It seems that there are two ways to tag a swimming raft. The first is from OpenSeaMap seamark:type=pontoon<br>

There's 36 of these. The other is man_made=pontoon (There's 87 of these).<div class="m_9135372091207699602quoted-text"><br>
