[talk-au] How to tag swimming pontoons

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Continuing on with swimming areas, we've got a few on the GC that consist
of a floating boom suspending an underwater net, surrounding the designated
area. One of them then has a swimming raft in it:

In OSM, the boom's are currently marked as fences:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=18/-27.96790/153.41779, which doesn't
really seem right?

I can see reference in the wiki to an oil-boom, which is a floating boom to
contain oil spills, but not really appropriate.

Don't know if they'd be a pontoon either, because you can't really climb up
on it.

Any thoughts?

Graeme



Thanks

Graeme
