Hmm. If they have a sign with a name, I'd tag them as name="Ye Olde Swimmin' Hole", or whatever. No sign? then I'd go with whatever physical traits are significant, permanent and verifiable. Tag the parking lot, the stairs, the path, the bike rack, the fire pit, etc. If you have those things, and you've added the name tag for the lake, etc. perhaps you are done. But a node or polygon for a swimming area? How do you confirm that? Decide that it should be n meters wide vs. n+1? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
