Cold water swimming - how to get started?

27.09.2021

Cold water baths became popular last winter. The pandemic did not allow people to spend time indoors, so Poles began looking for entertainment outside. However, this is not just a fad, but a proven way to regenerate and improve circulation.

Health benefits

Cold water baths have many valuable properties. Many athletes do it to naturally heal inflammation in their muscles and joints. In addition, contact with cold water has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, as well as the cardiovascular system. Also, naturally toughening the body increases resistance to cold, which reduces the likelihood of catching a cold.

How to start?

The fall season is the ideal time to start cold water baths. The optimal temperature will allow you to let your body get used to the cold gently. Remember to buy a good quality hat and gloves to protect you from the cold. A 20-minute warm-up should be conducted before each cold water swim. Then submerge slowly, without crossing the chest line. After a few minutes in the water, dry yourself thoroughly.

Remember to always take cold water baths in the company of someone experienced. There are many specially marked places in Poland where you can safely take a cold bath. We encourage you to take a thoughtful approach to this activity, and you are sure to see many valuable benefits.
