Steel Pro™ Swimming Pool, Lidl, £89.99
If space is of no concern, Lidl is selling a 12-foot swimming pool for £89.99 - reduced by 40% from its recommended retail price of £149.95. The 7,480 litre capacity pool comes with a filter pump, pool cover, surface skimmer, floating thermometer, chemical floater and repair patch to make set-up and maintenance a breeze. It lands in stores this Sunday (2 June) and is available while stocks last. Admittedly not a paddling pool, but great fun for kids and adults.

Intex 10-Foot Quick Set Up Pool, Aldi, £29.99
Happy to downsize by a couple of feet (and a lot of money)? This Intex easy set-up pool is worth a punt. It takes about 10 minutes to build – simply inflate the top ring, fill with water and watch the pool take shape as the water level rises. It’s also easy to drain and store. Winning.

Chad Valley Rectangular Paddling Pool, Argos, £18
More reminiscent of a dinghy than a pool, this inflatable number is perfect for compact spaces as it measures 211cm in length, 132cm in width and it’s only 46cm deep. It can hold up to 450 litres of water.
