In the course of looking for something else, I noticed that someone had
tagged Droitwich Spa Lido, which is an open air swimming pool, as
water=natural. That's clearly wrong (and I suspect a simple error on the
part of the mapper, since their other edits look fine to me), so I fixed it.

But... having done that, I have a feeling that the whole facility is
poorly mapped and could be improved. At the moment, the pool itself is
tagged as the Lido, and the surrounding paved areas are tagged as
footpaths. Which they're not, really - they're within the gated area and
can't be used as a through route. There's a good aerial photo of the
facility here:

My feeling is that the entire facility should be tagged as the Lido
(using leisure=sports_centre and sport=swimming, as suggested by the
wiki), and the pool merely as an element within it. And the other
buildings could do with some more informative tags, too.
Does that sound sensible to others? If so, I'll tidy it up and make
those changes.
