Freezing cold or daredevil?

If you want to feel winter and the cold on your body, you can take a refreshing ice bath! We're talking goose bumps, floating ice floes, and ice-cold water!

Outdoor ice swimming has become a popular activity

and, if you take certain precautions, it is safe. For beginners, one minute in the water is a good starting point. Make sure you swim in shallow water or somewhere where you can hold on to a ladder.

Always think about safety when ice bathing.

One important thing to keep in mind is that after cooling your body down so much, there is a risk of experiencing after-shocks. Therefore, you need to calm down afterwards.

Never go swimming without a partner in winter!

Warm yourself up with a hot drink and get moving before getting into a warm car and driving off.
