My experience with pools is mainly in a sports setting - lap swimming and water 
polo in High School. Most schools in Japan have shallow lap pools for the 
students to swim in for PE class (sports) - there are _very_ few 
mappable/outdoor pools not for sports in Japan - usually in city-operated water 
parks. This is very different from California, where there are probably 10x 
more private leisure pools at houses than sports ones for public use. 

This came up because the area I am mapping currently has a city-operated water 
park and many schools with their separate lap pools in one very small area, so 
I was thinking about how to map these pedestrian areas. 

I brought up "pitches" because the pool is where the actual activity is, but 
the pool-deck is often the staging grounds for the athletes - like footballers 
sitting on the sidelines of a pitch waiting to play. Often times, that is part 
of the "pitch" when mapped - but it is different in this scenario, as pools 
have been separated from pitches.
