This proposal is superseded by the sport namespace but it did provide the original inspiration. --TimSC 18:49, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Introduction

Water sports often share the same body of water for multiple activities. I propose we have a common water_sports feature and specify which sports are available at that location.

This was proposed based on the discussion of the sport=diving proposal. Proposed by: --TimSC 19:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Proposal

Compulsory Tags

"sport"="water_sports"

And at least one of these:

"sports:boating"="yes" or "no"
"sports:free-diving"="yes" or "no"
"sports:diving"="yes" or "no"
"sports:surfing"="yes" or "no"
"sports:swimming"="yes" or "no"
"sports:snorkeling"="yes" or "no"
"sports:windsurfing"="yes" or "no"
"sports:user defined"="yes" or "no"

Optional Tags:

"name"="Shark Reef"
"sports:max_depth"="25m"

Non-physical. Node/Area.

Proposed Rendering

This would vary depending on the sports defined and the purpose of the map. For a general purpose map, only one sport should be displayed to avoid clutter.

Thoughts

sport=swimming and leisure=fishing already exist. Can these co-exist with this proposal?

Dive centres probably should be under the shop hierarchy and will require additional thought.

Underwater features, although of interest to sub-aqua sports, are physical features and probably should not be under the sport category.

I have also proposed historic=wreck which is of interest to divers.

If we have only one sport displayed on a general purpose map, how is the icon to be selected from the various sports?
