A pair of teenagers have come up with a creative way to enjoy all the fun of the seaside without leaving the comfort of their living room.

The inventive Russian duo decided to convert the lounge of their Moscow flat into their very own private water park.

Covering carpet, furnishings and electrics with polyethylene film and tape, the unnamed lads have created a fully functioning indoor swimming pool.

They resorted to the action after days of soaring temperatures in the city.

Shots of the boys enjoying a dip in their homemade pool have gone viral after being posted on social media websites.

Check out 13 Vines which show animals are actually the best at keeping cool.

But despite the boys' creativity, shocked web users have been quick to criticise their actions.

One said: "This is not going to end well.

"The amount of water in there and the sheer weight/volume is going to cause serious problems."

Another said: "How exactly do they expect to get rid of all of that water. I hope they have insurance!'

Critics fear the super-thin polyethylene is not strong enough for this kind of use and could easily tear, which could cause chaos for neighbours and pose a serious health risk.

Many comments advise against replicating this stunt in homes.
