I collected some usage statistics of pools I know: Indoor swimming pool, building: 5x leisure=swimming_pool 2x amenity=swimming_pool 1x leisure=water_park 1x leisure=sports_centre 1x leisure=sports_centre+sport=swimming
Indoor swimming pool, water area: 10x not tagged Outdoor swimming pool, area: 5x leisure=water_park 2x amenity=swimming_pool 2x not tagged 1x leisure=park and sport=swimming Outdoor swimming pool, water area: 5x leisure=swimming_pool 2x leisure=swimming_pool and amenity=swimming_pool 1x natural=water 2x not tagged 1x water area under construction The statistics make the overloading of leisure=swimming_pool for two different purposes very clear. -- Matthijs On 15 December 2015 at 23:41, Matthijs Melissen <i...@matthijsmelissen.nl> wrote: > Hi all, > > There are currently two tags for swimming pools in use: > * leisure=swimming_pool (511 413 occurences) > * amenity=swimming_pool (46 495 occurences) > > Historically, amenity used to be the more popular tag, but usage has > shifted to leisure, with amenity now making up less than 8% of the > instances.
