Bathers at the Highbridge Pool in Washington Heights, Manhattan, had to deal with high temps and a wanna-be stripper last week. Scantilly clad Raiz Nunez was booked on multiple charges, cops said.

The heat wave sent tempers flaring and hormones raging at pools across the city last week.
More than a dozen people were arrested at public swimming pools for fighting and other bad behavior, including a 21-year-old woman in a thong swimsuit who gyrated against a pole at Highbridge Pool in Washington Heights and asked passersby to smack her behind, police and park advocates said.
Raiz Nunez, 21, was charged with disorderly conduct, trespassing, obstruction of governmental administration and resisting arrest after she turned the pool into her own personal strip club last Tuesday, cops said.
Nunez, sporting a pink thong and white sandals, grabbed a railing by the pool and “performed a striptease act,” police said.
She urged swimmers to give her bottom a smack — and some people obliged, while others left the pool in disgust, police said Monday.
Efforts to reach Nunez Monday were unsuccessful.
The New York City Park Advocates news site, “A Walk in the Park,” first reported the incident.
When she was told to leave, Nunez went ballistic, cops said.
“Don’t hate because I have a body and look good!” she screamed, cops said.
But a poolside witness said the scantily-clad swimmer had a boxy "Sponge Bob" figure — not an enviable hourglass body.
A witness scoffed that “she was crazy-looking.”
Nunez ended up on the ground when cops tried to escort her away from the pool and a scuffle ensued, the witness told the Daily News.
The police had trouble handcuffing the swimmer because she was slippery with suntan lotion, the witness added. She returned to the pool in the same outfit Saturday and was turned away, the witness said.
The bizarre arrest was just one in a series of incidents that continued through the hot weekend, A Walk in The Park reported, citing various city sources.
Police used pepper spray to arrest a 14-year-old for disorderly conduct Sunday evening at the Astoria Pool after he cursed at lifeguards and bothered other pool patrons, officials said.
Then cops busted four more teenagers after they left the Queens pool and robbed two young men, punching the victims while stealing a cell phone and speakers, police said Monday.
There were also arrests last week at Lasker Pool in Central Park, Crotona Park Pool in the Bronx, and Sunset Park Pool and Coney Island Pool in Brooklyn, which said an out-of-control teen sent six people from a West Village pool to the hospital after a mace attack July 14.
