CBS News recently paid a visit to the Conklin Pool in Elkins Park to see how the Cheltenham community is coping with the heat.

“It feels very hot,” said 7-year-old Joni Crommartie-Scott of West Oak Lane. “Like, the concrete is so hot.”

Conklin lifeguard Keyan Parker said he noticed more people in the pool this year now that the extreme heat hit so early in the season.

“We do have a tracker. Normally we do get around at least 140 people within like the first two hours of the pool opening,” he said.
