Skip all that talk about brackets and hooks and screws. Since your dock is a stand alone swim platform it will not
be hitting anything and should not be noise, Your best bet is to use chains, they will last much longer than rope,Cable will work but make sure you use a rrubber cap on the end of the cables so your swimmers do not get stuck with the end of the cable. A nice thick rope will work for years and cost much less to set up. Make sure to use a good knot that will not come undone from the constant movement. I'm sure you already know you have to have it long enough to allow the dock to float at full pool.
