I'm not sure if this should be added, but at the time how iD decided to add presets for lifeguards facilities was controversial.
We used to have documented on the wiki and in use: emergency=lifeguard_place emergency=lifeguard_base emergency=lifeguard_tower emergency=lifeguard_platform Which each were to be used to map different kinds of lifeguard infrastructure on the ground. Prompted by a request at https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/4918 it was then decided by Bryan at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2018-June/037080.html that "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." And it was decided by the iD maintainers to change the existing used and documented tag emergency=lifeguard_place to emergency=lifeguard, and only support that tag and none of the other types of lifeguard facilities.
