Isn't it always the case though that patrolled beaches will have flags and
that is the area patrolled? My point is then what's the difference between
`lifeguard=yes` and `lifeguard=yes @ flagged_area / red_and_yellow_flags`,
to me they mean the same thing.

That's it!
Today the flags are here, tomorrow they may be 100m South, then the next
day they're 100m North of here, but the flags will always show where the
lifeguards are at any time.
Thanks

I think I see.
The lifeguards are where the flags are.
The flags are somewhere on this beach.
There'll be flags/lifeguards at certain times.

Agree entirely but I'm not trying to map the flags, I was trying to work
out a way of saying that the lifeguards are where the flags are?
Thanks

Flag position will vary daily based on weather conditions, tides, rips,
proximity to the toilets, other stuff?
I think you'd just need to mark the whole beach.

In response to a couple of points ...
No, I'm not trying to mark that the lifeguards are "in this spot", I just
thought that some way of indicating where on the beach (i.e the flags) they
would be would be good.
& yes, we're all taught to swim between the flags, but is that

I'm with Ben, I feel it's sufficient to tag on the beach.
Isn't it always the case in Australia that there will be flags if patrolled
and that you should swim between the flags?
For long beaches we may already split the feature into different named
beaches, so you could do the same if only part
Surf Lifesaving have a website and app that contains this information along
with much more. When things are patrolled, risks, facilities etc

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
A little while back, I put the emergency=lifeguard proposal through,
together with lifeguard=yes to describe those times when there is a
lifeguard/s on the beach, but they may not be in a fixed location.
Have just started actually using them while I've been fixing GC beaches &
realised that it's
