There is a huge section on keeping pigs cool on here... I don't know how to post the link but do a search - or some one who knows how to post links will be along soon.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THEM COOL TO AVOID HEAT STROKE.
 
I completely agree with the others. It is absolutely essential you do everything you can to keep them cool - even if they live inside. Please do read the links above on how to do so
 
Absolutely important to keep them cool. As well as refreshing water/hay more often, adding wrapped frozen water bottles/ice packs is great.
I also put tiles in, here’s Keith enjoying one now…
