Our pool is officially open, and we’re making it easy for you and your family to make a splash at FOC this season. Before you dive in, here’s what you need to know to access the pool:

Step 1: Become a Member💻
All swimmers must be a For Oak Cliff member before using the pool. If you’re 18 or older, you can complete your membership on your own. If the swimmer is under 18, a parent or guardian age 18+ must complete their membership registration.

Step 2: Stop by Our Community Campus📍
Once your membership is complete, visit our Community Campus and bring a valid ID to complete a background check. This step must be completed before entering the pool.

Step 3: Check the Swim Schedule📆
Pool hours may vary, so be sure to check our website before heading over to see the latest swim schedule and open swim times.

Step 4: Come in Appropriate Swimwear 🩳
All swimmers must wear proper swim attire to enter the pool. Please review our website for full swimwear guidelines and pool rules before your visit.

We’re running it back! 🔥

For Oak Cliff’s second annual Power of Proximity Summit is coming this fall to close out the summer and you do not want to miss it! This one-day gathering is bringing together changemakers, educators, nonprofit leaders, community members, and youth who are ready to dream bigger, dig deeper, and build bold solutions for our community.

Rooted in Place. Driven by Change. Powered by Proximity.

We’re talking real conversations, real strategy, and real action centered on strengthening the Cradle to Career Continuum and disrupting the Cradle to Prison Pipeline right here in South Oak Cliff. Because when the people closest to the work lead the way, transformation happens.

This is more than a summit but it’s a space to connect, learn, collaborate, and pour back into the future of our community. 💥

🗓️ Saturday, September 19, 2026

Let’s move from conversation to action!
