Fjord cold plunge · 10–14°C
Cold, but more approachable.
Good for beginners, repeated rounds and contrast with sauna or hot bath.
Ice bath or cold plunge?
The cold plunge is warmer than the ice bath, but still cold enough to reset the body and mind. Many beginners start here before trying the ice bath.
You can use both. There is no strict rule. Try what feels right.
Contrast
Back and forth.
Move from sauna or hot bath into the cold plunge, rest, then repeat. The cold makes the warmth better. The warmth makes the cold better.
