If you plan to go swimming in Berlin by raft or boat, you should remember to bring swimwear and towels with you on the boat. Since the reflection of the sun on the water is amplified, you should also bring enough sunscreen. A sun hat can also be beneficial. Also, think about your physical well-being and bring enough food and drinks. Swimming makes you hungry. Most rafts and boats have a gas grill and ice coolers to keep your drinks cool for several hours. You can also book a boat that offers catering.
