The swimming_pool=*
key indicates whether a feature has a swimming pool. This is especially useful if the feature's swimming pool cannot be mapped separately as leisure=swimming_pool
.
Values
swimming_pool=yes
- the feature has a swimming poolswimming_pool=no
- the feature explicitly has no swimming pool
Additional Values

. Common values are:
swimming_pool=inground
- the feature has an in-ground swimming poolswimming_pool=outdoor
- the feature has an outdoor swimming poolswimming_pool=indoor
- the feature has an indoor swimming pool
Examples
The key is always used in conjunction with an appropriate feature. Common features include:
leisure=fitness_centre
+swimming_pool=yes
- the fitness centre has a swimming poolleisure=sports_centre
+swimming_pool=no
- the sports complex has no swimming pooltourism=hotel
+swimming_pool=indoor
- the hotel has an indoor swimming pooltourism=camp_site
+swimming_pool=outdoor

Alternative usage
In conjunction with leisure=swimming_pool
, the key is also used to further describe the type of pool.
- Attention!
Note that in this context swimming_pool=*
should explicitly not describe the location. The established tags location=indoor/outdoor/roof
, indoor=yes
, outdoor=yes
and rooftop=yes
is used for this purpose.

leisure=swimming_pool
+swimming_pool=swimming
- for a pool with lanes for swimming laps and training for sporting purposesleisure=swimming_pool
+swimming_pool=plunge
- for a very deep pool intended for being jumped into from heights as high as 10 metersleisure=swimming_pool
+swimming_pool=wading
- for a shallower pool where you can stand on the ground constantly, intended for leisure and play rather than sportsleisure=swimming_pool
+swimming_pool=spa
- for a pool, often with warm water, with wellness amenities such as water jets and air streams, but larger than a hot tub and intended for people to walk around in- for a very small pool with hot water and often air jets, intended for few people and no movement. Useleisure=swimming_pool
