I agree the current documentation does not go much into the details of what is tagged how (hence there is not much detail in the map in general). there is leisure=swimming_pool, but you are right there could be space for a swimming_facility. Typically I think they are tagged as sports_centres with sport=swimming and other subtags (e.g. "covered"). There's also leisure=water_park. see also here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dswimming_pool I am not sure about different typologies of swimming pools, but I think it is interesting to know, e.g. kids pool, length of pool, jumping pool, etc. > > It might make sense to create a new tag leisure=swimming_facility with > a sub-tag swimming_facility=outdoor/indoor. What are your opinions? > there are facilities that offer both, indoor and outdoor swimming, some only in some periods of the year (in central Europe), others all year long (still in central Europe, with heated outdoor pools). There are also thermal baths, both for recreative and for medical use, and as "facilities" or naturally occurring and without any kind of "facility". Outdoor facilities are also natural sometimes, e.g. at rivers and lakes, and might be tagged differently. At the sea there are beach resorts which might have swimming pools as well. Cheers, Martin
