Left-field thought, but a quick web search reveals it's a salt-water
pool in a town built around salt-water springs. Are you sure the water
isn't natural?
It's semi-natural. It's from the brine springs, but it is piped and
treated. But then, all water is, ultimately, natural - if it doesn't
come from a spring or the sea then it's collected after falling from the
sky :-)
More the the point, though, the wiki explicitly states that swimming
pools should be tagged as leisure=swimming_pool. Other examples of
naturally filled, but artificial, pools include Shoalstone seawater pool
in Brixham and Plymouth Tinside Lido, both of which are tagged as
leisure=swimming_pool in OSM.
So I think that's the correct primary tag here, too, even if it's not
just tap water in the poll. Other tags could be used to indicate the
source of the water, if necessary.
