Rationale
To mark different outdoor locations to bathe at, the whole activity area with water, beach, piers and buildings and also lawns or shaded park-like areas that are a part of the bath location. It is meant for all sizes of outdoor bath, from small for only a handful of people to really big tourist-filled beaches. The different values are for different bodies of water; sea, lake or river. There are more kinds of location of bath with their own tags, see below. Supposed to replace the tagging scheme in use today:
natural=beach sport=swimming ( I prefer a separate tag for marking a bathing spot, and a sport-tag doesn´t really catch it.)
An alternative could have been leisure=beach (but there are places without a beach that I want to map as a bathing spot and places with both beach and pier)
There is already a leisure=beach_resort that should be used for the organized beaches in the seaside resorts.
Examples
At Askimsbadet in Göteborg, there are two examples:
- Askimsbadet is a rather big facility with large lawns, cafeteria and supervisors.
- Across the very shallow bay there is a small bathing spot, also maintained by the city, called Marholmen. It isn´t more than two piers and some warm rocks to sunbathe at.
Both of these areas I want to tag leisure=sea_bath.
Current tagging alternatives:
- Askimsbadet could as well be tagged as a park or some kind of recreation ground with a beach. Even though it can´t be compared to mediterranean resorts, in a swedish context this could be a leisure=beach_resort. (Today it is a node with leisure=beach)
- Marholmen doesn´t really fit any current tag (not even leisure=beach as it is a pier), so leisure=sea_bath would be aggod way of tagging it as a bathing spot.
Usage
To be used on an area that is the site of the outdoor bathing spot. (or in the beginning only as a node until the area is known)
The area contains both land and water area.
Other amenities and stuff is mapped inside the area as usual.
Supplementary tags are needed to discern between all the different kinds of baths and what you can do at them. e.g. the tag "access=" should give more information if this is a closed facility only for elite swimmers or a public bath.

Other features affected
As this proposal only covers some of the existing locations of baths, here is a short list of the other kinds: outdoor categorized according to the body of water
- leisure=sea_bath
- leisure=river_bath
- leisure=lake_bath
- leisure=pool_bath
- leisure=swimming_pool
- leisure=bathing_place
- leisure=beach_resort
- leisure=water_park leisure=water_park
- leisure=hot_spring Proposed features/Hot Spring
indoor
- leisure=sports_centre leisure=sports_centre
- lesiure=swimming_pool leisure=swimming_pool
- leisure=bath_house (or maybe the proposed amenity=public_bath
- leisure=spa
- leisure=sauna amenity=sauna
- amenity=shower amenity=shower
These are of course rather coarse tags, and refinement should be done on each of them.
