Amazingly, this Fick Plug and Play Spa can hold up to six people, which sounds like an interesting proposition. To take on that challenge it made of durable 3-layer laminated material combing heavy duty PVC and polyester mesh. So it should be good for some serious partying. Better still, it’ll hold an aqua-tastic 1615 litres of water, which is quite a lot. There’s a steel frame to hold things together as you take the plunge and there’s a drain plug for when you’re one. Granted, this isn't the deepest you can buy, bit if you’re looking for a quick and easy plunge option then this might fit the bill.

5-Person 1-Jet Inflatable Spa| £61.99 at Wayfair (opens in new tab)
If you’re tempted by a pool and want to dip your toe into the water before committing to a full-on XL-sized option then try this for size. It’s not the biggest, but it’ll still hold 5377 litres, which is pretty decent by anyone’s pool standards. On a practical note, it’s inflatable too, which means there’s no faffing around with metal frames and what not. Those frameless sides are fashioned from Tritech, which is a cool combination of materials that make the pool durable and surprisingly strong. Best of all though, this is super-easy to setup and, then take down and store when needed.

Summer Waves White Pool | £150 at Argos (opens in new tab)
With its 4792 litre capacity and 30-minute fill time this pool makes a great option if you get a sudden urge to take the plunge. While it’s sturdy and easy to put up, the pool can also be packed away when you’re done splashing around. Granted, this 10-footer can't be classed as Olympic-sized and it’s round anyway, but there’s space enough for a few folks; quite how many depends on how well you know them. The self-assembly package comes complete with a repair kit, protective cover and a filter pump too.

Bates 6-Person 1 Jet Spa | £1899.99 at Wayfair (opens in new tab)
This steel and PVC super-size pool is able to accommodate up to six people with ease and holds a gargantuan 19500 litres of water. What's more, the white exterior and blue liner makes it look a little more upmarket than your average temporary pool. The manufacturers also say you can put it above ground or actually in the ground, if you want a more permanent water feature. Cool.
