Comment:

 If you are concerned with the actual tags used, you should use the
 Advanced view, or JOSM.

 The Simple view is for users who just want to label a swimming pool, and
 may not even understand that there are key/value pairs under the hood. It
 is for people who aren't concerned with the nitty-gritty of tagging.

 Most English-speaking people would class a swimming pool as a "leisure"
 facility. Therefore it's included in Potlatch 2 under a "leisure"
 grouping. Whether this maps to "amenity=swimming_pool" or
 "leisure=swimming_pool" or "spong=yeswiblet" is irrelevant.

 By the same token, we have "road" and "path" groupings, rather than
 "highway".
