Drop a $20 bill on a small pump to inflate stuff like that… either that, or do what fuzzbucket said: exhaust the vacuum cleaner into it and it’ll be full in seconds. ;-)
I did this when my kids got a new pool. (Couldn’t afford a pump.) Took hours and still wasn’t really full, but held water. Kids loved it right up until a neighbor kid snuck in and took a big bite out of the top ring.

If you have a portable vacuum, just blow the exhaust into the pool.

Water wings for a nearly grown man, in a wading pool? :-)

That would be easier with a bicycle pump.

Norm, if you’re wanting a pool blown up fast, why don’t YOU do it instead of complaining!

My sister gave my kids a blow up bounce house. Yes, blown up by daddy type bounce house. I had never thought of Karen as evil before.

As a kid, we had this little sleeve that went over the exhaust of the vacuum and attached to inflatables. Wouldn’t work on either of our current vacs.

You should put all their hot air to use, Ralph.

Don’t they have one of those air pumping units? I guess not.
