Hi Yes, that's a pity. My main interest in introducing a new tag was to make it possible to find nearby public swimming pool facilities with an OSM based app like Maps.me or skobbler.com. At present, with leisure=swimming_pool used for the water area only and many private pools tagged with it (what I think makes no sense at all), the results are completely useless. And because the public swimming pool facilities are all tagged differently - which results from the fact that there is no dedicated tag -, this problem can't be solved.
