Why do alligators go into the water during both hot and cold snaps?

Alligators are cold blooded. They dislike both high and low temperature extremes. They go into the water because the water will be cooler than the hot outside air on hot days, and warmer then the cold air on cold days. Water takes a length of time to 'catch-up' to the air temperature above it so it has a moderating effect for the alligator.
