+1 for stream_pool.  

The features they are talking about are usually where a normally shallow stream 
feeds into topography (man made or natural)  that creates a much 
deeper/wide/slower moving section of the tiny stream than “normal", allowing 
someone to reasonably submerge their body, or jump into. this is an 
“attraction” of the stream, usually used by people hiking or playing in the 
water. Some of them may be locally famous. 

Ah! 

I would put these under leisure. they are only useful for some kind of leisure 
activity.

If I was interested in tagging the features of a certain spot for campers or 
backpackers to set up a tent, (like micromapping a part of a park), then 
mapping these might be useful, as you might choose one location over another 
based on having this pool available. 

having water=pool sounds like a recipe for incorrectly tagged swimming pools.
