A 
swimming pool is a place built for swimming as a recreational activity or sport, typically taking the form of an excavated and lined pool.
How to map
Draw as an area 
along the outline of the swimming pool, or add a node 
at the center. Add leisure=swimming_pool.
The tag leisure=swimming_pool should only be used for the water area of the swimming pool. A facility containing one or more swimming pools (mainly focused on swimming as a sport) should be tagged:
leisure=sports_centre+sport=swimming; orleisure=sports_hall+sport=swimming(single pool).
When micro-mapping, backyard and personal swimming pools should be tagged as access=private as to not confuse them with public swimming pools.
