if it's a pool, yes, for the areas around it, no, e.g. sport pitches, 
playgrounds, lawn, restaurant and cafe, changing rooms etc.
It would be better to suggest a tag for the whole facility as well. Other 
outdoor swimming water areas that are not pools but lakes, rivers or the sea 
shouldn't be tagged as swimming pools either (but they might well be considered 
bathing areas). The same might hold true for outdoor thermal bathing places 
which aren't pools, or are very small pools where swimming is not possible.

why one tag for swimming, but not diving or jumping? What about foot baths 
(i.e. shallow water)? The cold water pools of thermal baths or saunas? IMHO 
there is already an established tag for the places to swim (sport=swimming), 
but it doesn't cover all areas of water where people go into the water for some 
reason (leisure, health, recreation etc.), and it doesn't have to. And it 
doesn't describe the physical characteristics/nature of the place, but is 
rather an attribute to be added. The range of places is so huge that a single 
common tag might not be an advantage (i.e. not even for render style 
maintainers or other data consumers).
