Aldi's New $10 Swimming Pools Are Perfect for Keeping Cool All Summer Long
If you aren't near a beach or lake, or don't have your own home or public pool, you may be wondering whether or when you'll be able to cool off this summer.
Thankfully, this coming week Aldi will be releasing swimming pools that can fit into any outdoor space and won't break the bank.
For $10, you could have your very own round pool that can be filled with an ordinary garden hose or, if necessary, with buckets of water.
H2OGo! 42-Inch Round Pool, $9. 99 at Aldi
Dropping in stores June 24, this 42-inch round pool will only cost you $9.99 and can easily be placed in any-sized back or front yard. In addition to the green-printed option pictured here, this pool will also be available in a plain coral or a wavy blue-printed version.
While other specifics about the pools are not readily available, it appears to be made of durable plastic that will likely last if the pool is stored indoors when not in use (if used as a pool). It also does not appear to be easily foldable, so while it is small, you want to make sure you have space to store it before purchasing.

What Else Can I Use the Pool For?
While smaller pools like this are typically thought of as "kiddie" pools, that doesn't mean they're exclusively reserved for children.
Other family members or friends can use these types of small pools for a variety of reasons including:
- As a tanning pool
- To cool pets down
- As a baby's first water experience
- To plant an herb or flower garden
- As other play areas, including a bubble or ball pit or makeshift sandbox
Really, anything that needs to be contained could work. From filling them with water to using other materials, and with a variety of ages and furry friends using them, these pools are the most versatile $10 summer investment.
Whether you want the pool for yourself, your kids, pets or your garden, this upcoming drop is the perfect, affordable solution to those upcoming hot summer days.
