Hummm .. while 'swimming' can be done .. is there a competitive side to 
the swimming done there?
A sport usually has some competitive side to it ... where as a 
recreation may not have that competitive side.

For example .. when I tag a swimming pool .. I only add the 
sport=swimming if I see marked lanes or some other indication of a 
competitive nature, other wise I do not include a sport tag.
