Now you can swim at Toronto pools until midnight

If you haven't noticed, it's pretty hot outside in Toronto. We're in throes of a heat wave, and apparently, we're experiencing the driest summer in 75 years. Sure, you can try to cool down with a frozen treat, cold shower, or if you're lucky, air conditioning. Or, just take a dip in your local pool.

Thankfully, in response to the ongoing Extended Heat Warning, the city's keeping seven public pools open until 11:45 p.m. This is for tonight only, weather permitting.

City extends hours at seven pools to help #CityofTO residents cool off. More info: https://t.co/HkwbVP5IDy.
