Ready? Set? Swim! These are not words one usually hears in the standard British garden at the height of summer. But now, with the Quick Up Pool at hand, a drop or two of Severn Trent water and a mains electricity supply, you're all set to host your own Aquatic Olympics in your very own swimming pool.

Let's say that again: your very own 12 foot swimming pool.

Forget traipsing down to the local leisure centre every time the thermometer rises. Forget having to make do with a cold bath (or worse, the garden hose) and say hello to a summer of ready-made poolside frolics to the sound of Club Tropicana...

The Quick Up Pool is just that - quick. Simply inflate the top ring and the pool rises while you fill it, with sturdy self-supporting sides made from robust man-made fibres. A high capacity filter keeps your water in tip-top shape ready for all manner of summertime splashing action.

Set the Quick Up Pool in the suntrap in your garden for a touch of gentle solar heating and you're off and diving. And you'll no doubt be duly amazed at just how many friends you actually possess, for everyone loves a pool, it seems.

Your challenge, then, is to see how many chums one can get in the pool at once...
