Creeks and rivers are tricky, since it's hard to confirm whether or not they are good for swimming. Tagging sport=swimming on certain nodes of a river or stream is sort of like a review or recommendation, and these are not good for the main OSM database.
The linked page says 'leisure=swimming_area' is for an "enclosed natural water area inside a facility" and the main wiki page for the tag says "an officially designated place where you can swim in natural water reservoirs such as rivers, lakes or the sea. It could be marked by e.g. signs or buoys and/or may be supervised by lifeguards" So if there is an area for swimming in a lake or pond (or river?) that is delimited by floating buoys and ropes, that would be good to map. If there's a natural=beach you can also map that. -Joseph On 9/9/19, Graeme Fitzpatrick <graemefi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Looks good Joseph. > > One question, thanks, which has just come to mind while I was updating > details on a camp ground. > > You have swimming_pool=yes/no to say whether the camp ground has a pool or > not. > > The place I'm working on (& others that I know) doesn't have a swimming > pool, but is on the banks of a creek, to which there is access to swim. > > Would that also be included under the camp ground in some way, or would it > be best to just draw the creek in, & possibly mark sport=swimming, or > leisure=swimming_area alongside the camp ground? > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Swimming_and_bathing#Natural_water_where_swimming_is_possible > > > Thanks > > Graeme > _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
