As temperatures continue to rise Tuesday, Yonkers residents left their air conditioners behind and headed out for a nice cool dip in the pool.

Hundreds of people filled the pool at Tibbets Park to keep cool as the mercury climbed. Due to popular demand, the pool extended its hours until 8:30 p.m. Many who braved the extreme heat, say the cool pool water was refreshing. Others say they know that in the winter they will be begging for the hot weather.

With the heat wave expected to continue for most of the week, there will be plenty more packed pool days.
