AN Irish store is selling a bargain paddling pool for just €8.99 – perfect for the mini heatwave this week.

“These pools come with a padded inflatable floor, for extra comfort as little ones play.
“Designed with 3 bright, colourful rings, the Intex pool sets up easily in any back garden for summer fun outdoors. For best results, we recommend setting up these pools on a flat surface”
The inflatable pool does not come with a pump but Smyths also have pumps available on their website for just €12.99 if you don’t have one at home.
The pool comes with a repair patch incase you get any punctures or holes, making this a long-lasting investment for under a tenner.

Another wrote: “I bought this product two weeks ago and I’m so pleased I did. My two year old absolutely loves it!
“The cushioned floor is great for little toddlers. It’s the best pool I’ve bought so far and definitely worth it for the price.”
