You might use waterway as the main tag to prevent confusion with the top-level tag of water=*
Either waterway=pool (TagInfo: 26 uses), or waterway=stream_pool, would be better than water=stream_pool. I still think it better to avoid using the word stream in the value because then a pool on a river would have these two tags, which might look strange to some people: waterway=river waterway=stream_pool This tagging seems more "logical" IMO: waterway=river waterway=pool The existing waterway=pool objects seem to be either small ponds where one can bathe or some sort of natural=basin.
