[talk-au] Lifeguards & "Swim Between the Flags"

[Ben Kelley]

Hi.

In my experience, the actual location of flags on any given day can vary 
a lot (according to the conditions). I don't think there is any benefit 
in trying to mark on the map where the flags are.

I think it is useful to know that this beach may have a lifeguard, as 
opposed to knowing that this beach never has a lifeguard.
