T. Boone Pickens YMCA

With the weather warming up, we know you're going to heading to the pools, lakes, or ocean this summer! We want you to be able to enjoy and have fun, but we have six water safety tips that will help you keep you and your child safe:

1️⃣ Make sure children know to always ask permission before going in or near the water.
2️⃣ Never swim alone without a Water Watcher.
3️⃣ Supervise your children whenever they’re in or near water.
4️⃣ Don’t engage in breath-holding activities.
5️⃣ Inexperienced or non-swimmers should wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket.
6️⃣ Don’t jump in the water to save a friend who is struggling in deep water.

Happy World Bicycle Day! 🚴

A special shoutout to Rhonda and John for bringing energy, encouragement, and fun to every cycling class at the T. Boone Pickens Y. Whether you're chasing a fitness goal or just enjoying the ride, there's a place for you in our cycling community.

A great team makes all the difference! 💙

Our Child Watch staff at the Dallas College El Centro campus recently came together for a team meeting, celebrated a birthday, and shared well-wishes to a friend who is embracing a new opportunity. Thank you to this incredible team for the care, energy, and joy you bring to our Y families every day. 🎉

Bringing young people and mentors together to build connections, create memories, and strengthen community is what the Y is all about.

Member Update:

The men's sauna is currently out of service due to a mechanical issue with the door. For the safety of our members, the sauna will remain closed through the weekend until repairs are completed on Monday.

A strong team starts with connection! We had a great time bringing our staff together for a fun team-building event filled with laughter, collaboration, and community. Moments like these help strengthen the relationships that allow us to better serve our members and downtown Dallas every day.

We loved hosting Tangram for a fun-filled Field Day at the T. Boone Pickens YMCA! 🏓💙 Events like these are a great reminder that the Y is more than a gym -- it’s a place where downtown businesses can connect, build culture, and strengthen community together.
