Aquatics

The water and the locker room demand your most-trusted volunteers.

A swim camp is the highest-trust setting in youth sports — in-water instruction, hands-on corrections, and changing areas. That access is exactly why every instructor and deck volunteer needs a real background check. VolunteerBadge clears them for $5 each, with biometric identity verification.

In-water teaching means constant physical contact, and locker rooms mean private, unsupervised spaces — the two conditions abuse-prevention experts flag most. A documented check on every aquatics volunteer is the baseline a swim camp can't skip.

Swim camp screening questions

Why is screening especially important for swim camps?

Few youth settings combine the access a swim camp does — in-water instruction, hands-on technique correction, and locker rooms. That level of physical proximity and privacy makes a documented background check on every volunteer non-negotiable.

Do volunteer lifeguards and deck helpers need checks too?

Yes — anyone on deck, in the water, or near the changing areas. Each is a single $5 check covering identity verification and a full criminal and sex-offender registry search.

How quickly can our aquatics staff be cleared?

Volunteers verify from their phone and most results return same-day to 48 hours, so the team is cleared before the pool opens for camp.
