I was looking at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:emergency <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:emergency> today.
We have too many tags for different kinds of lifeguards. This is too confusing.
I don’t want to have to show all these choices to iD users.

Let’s just use one tag `emergency=lifeguard`
We can change this before the tags gain too much more traction (a few hundred uses is not very many)
If people really want to map whatever the lifeguard sits on, they can use a different tag for that.
`lifeguard_type=platform` or `tower` or something.
Thanks, Bryan
