I want to identify where you can swim in a body of water. I’ve found two ways that are acceptable to the JOSM Validation routine.
-
Create a beach polygon (natural=beach) and add (sport=swimming), I don’t think anyone swims in the sand.
-
Create a polygon in the water (leisure=swimming_pool) and add (sport=swimming), I don’t think anyone builds a swimming_pool in the ocean. Of course you can swim in a pool of water.
How do you identify where you can swim?

Hi,
Nice thought … but here people have been building swimming pools that are in/on the ocean and use the ocean water for replenishment … In Sydney, Australia since 1932 at least e.g.

Probably just a polygon with the tag sport=swimming where the actual swimming takes place (i.e. in the water).

The JOSM validator doesn’t like a polygon with only the tag sport=swimming. It returns the warning “sport without physical feature”
