Instead, savvy shoppers are racing to Argos to snap up bargain paddling pools that can do the job for a fraction of the cost.
And perhaps the best part of all?
One savvy woman has shared a little-known trick so you can nab a £20 paddling pool for just £10 - meaning you can save yourself half price.
Deciding not to gate-keep, Fiona Andrew rushed online to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and posted a snap of the 'Bestway Rectangular 7ft Paddling Pool' she purchased.
Alongside the post, she penned: "Bargain £10 in Argos today!

"In store £20 but if you searched paddling pools on the product checker, the same one was £10!!"
Perfect for kids ages 6+, the popular product features textured patterns on extra-wide sidewalls and is quick and easy to set up, taking a total of just five minutes to inflate.
Not only does it include a repair kit, but it's also super versatile and can be used as a sand pit, too.
