SUMMER is almost here so we’ve rounded up the cheapest paddling pools to help keep you cool in the garden.
Prices start from £3.50 for ones suitable for young kids, going up to £30 for a family-size inflatable.
Our list includes all pools that are available for home delivery, so you won’t need to leave your home to buy one.
As always, we’d recommend comparing prices to make sure you’re getting the best value for money.
For example, B&M also sells paddling pools, but sadly the discounter doesn’t offer an online shopping service.
Home Bargains had no inflatables listed online when we checked, but you might find some pools in stores.
You should also keep in mind that most pools don't come with a pump, so you'll need to buy one separately or blow it up yourself.

We've classed small pools as ones that are suitable for babies, or small children.
The ones included in this selection are approximately 3ft in length.
