An inflatable swim platform provides a versatile deployable structure on which a user can enter and exit the water from a vessel. Two or more inflatable dropstitch members are joined by a flexible connector along a longitudinal edge forming a hinge. When deployed the side surfaces along the longitudinal edge of each platform come into contact placing the connector panel in tension and a portion of the side surfaces in compression. An extension mechanisms possessing shape memory integrated into and spanning between the members is biased to the extended position aiding in deployment of the swim platform.
