[talk-au] How to tag swimming pontoons

[Max Bainrot]

The swimming raft describes it exactly

man_made=pontoon was my first thought but wasn't sure (was checking on a
mobile device on the bus) so I'll use that.

With tagging the ladder, the pontoons can rotate a fair bit so how
sensitive is the position of something like a ladder?

Swimming area is also something I plan on marking as these swimming areas
do have buoys on like a cable around the perimeter marking the boundary.

Thank you to everyone for their input so far, the help is very much
appreciated.

It would depend on whether we are talking about a floating jetty:

or what our American friends would call a swimming raft:

The first one is a pier but the second one isn't.

It seems that there are two ways to tag a swimming raft. The first is from
OpenSeaMap seamark:type=pontoon

There's 36 of these. The other is man_made=pontoon (There's 87 of these).
