That's true - this is a specific pool, and would be an amenity offered, usually 
to the public next to the sidewalk out front ( usually anyone walking by can 
stick them in) not an overall feature - like a drinking fountain. Sometimes 
they are inside, in a common waiting area, so if you decide not to bathe with 
friends, you can at least soak your feet. Perhaps amenity=foot bath? Maybe it's 
not best for bath type then.  I dunno.

PS @dieterdreist - I found the mailing list! I'll be asking about that civic 
land use shortly.
