Local pools expecting a big wave of people looking to beat the heat

Extreme heat is expected across much of central and southern Minnesota Monday, including the Twin Cities metro. Experts are urging people to limit time outdoors and drink plenty of water. For those who are trying to keep cool, the pool may be a popular place. MPR chief meteorologist Ben Cathey joined Minnesota Now with the latest on the heat. And Kevin O’Brien will be making sure things run smoothly at Faribault Family Aquatic Center. He’s the city’s recreation superintendent and joined host Nina Moini to talk about how they’re keeping swimmers safe.
