Should swimming pools cover the entire pool “area” or just the pool itself.

2

The pool area includes the concrete surrounding the pool, bathroom if in pool area, etc. (the pool in question is surrounded by a fence that clearly marks where the pool area starts and ends.)

You can use leisure=water_park or sport=swimming for the surrounding area. To my knowledge usually just the basins/pools itself are tagged as "pool". An overview (which is probably agreed to by many mappers) in German: DE:How_to_map_a#Schwimmbad. Found via a web search: question add-a-tag-to-mark-swimming-pool (mentions "sports_centre").
