The answer to this question should always be 'yes'! Most lifeguarding positions will require you to pass a criminal background check. It's best if you can come to your interview with a copy of your police check with you; however, if you did not have the foresight to do so before your meeting, the next best thing is to offer this to the hiring authority eagerly.

"I have been around children since I was a teen, working as an assistant camp counselor in the summers. I have had to perform a criminal background check every year. For this role, I am happy to comply with any police checks you require."

"I went ahead and purchased a copy of my police background check for you. Please keep this copy for your records. Should there be any other background checks you require of me, I am happy to comply."
