COLD PLUNGE FAQS

What is a cold plunge?

A cold plunge is the practice of immersing your body in cold water (typically 42-55°F) for a short period, usually between 30 seconds to 3 minutes. It’s known for its benefits to recovery, circulation, and overall well-being.

How cold is the water?

Our cold plunges typically range from 42-55°F, but temperatures may vary slightly based on the setup and conditions.

Is cold plunging safe for everyone?

While cold plunging is generally safe, those with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or circulation issues should consult a doctor before participating.

What if I feel lightheaded or uncomfortable?

If you feel dizzy, overly cold, or uncomfortable, exit the plunge immediately and warm up gradually. Listen to your body and never push beyond your limits.

How should I breathe during a cold plunge?

Focus on slow, deep breaths through the nose. Avoid shallow or panicked breathing, as controlled breathing helps you adapt to the cold.
