Paddling pool - do you fill it up with warm water or just cold water straight from garden tap?

Possibly a ridiculous question but I come from an absurdly hot country (40c+) so you really don’t need a warm paddling pool… but here, what do people do? I live in a flat with a shared garden so can’t connect hose to warm tap. Do I carry buckets of warm water down the stairs?! 🫠

I fill up pool a while before we want to use it so sun can warm it up.

I do a few hot water trips down the stairs with my washing up bucket and the rest warm and cold, so that by the end the water is warm as my eldest is a tart when it comes to cold water 🤣

Cold water from the tap and then a few kettles to warm it up (make sure I swirl it and test it before they get in) X

I lived in a flat like that and I used to take buckets of hot water out (not outside tap 🙄) but it’s not like I kept it warm, the sun helped a bit though

Cold from the hose. Add a few buckets of warm but I find usually they don’t care or if you fill it early enough the sun will take the edge off it x

Maxi had the dilemma last week that the paddling pool was too cold but the garden was too hot 😂😂

I add a couple of buckets of hot just to take the chill out x
