"lifeguard=place" is currently not used at all, and I do not believe it is a good tag. "place" is so generic, it doesn't allow for any deduction of meaning more than "thing" or "feature", and it is used for toponyms as a key in OSM. On beaches I would distinguish lifeguards that operate out of a structure like a tower, a cabin, office or a similar building, from those who only sit in a chair below an umbrella or a temporary roof, or maybe not even. Shall it be a feature and a property (feature would indicate the position, as property you could add something like lifeguard=yes to a beach or swimming pool (likely implied). Cheers, Martin
