[Tagging] Swimming pool facilities

[José G Moya Y.]

Yes, please!!

It's inconsistent to have a tag to mark the outdoor area surrounding a
sports swimming pool or a water park and no tag to mark the outdoor area
around a not-for-sports, not-theme-park swimming pool. I said that in the
swimming pool discusion.

If you have a tag for the facility, you can map the access/entrance to the
facility.

Yours,

José
