This is a communal session and works on a bookings only basis.
Bookings to be made online via our website.
It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any medical conditions or concerns. Stay hydrated and listen to your body's limits during sessions.

Session duration: 60mins
We allow 15mins prior to your session start time for you to sign in and change.
Following your session, you can enjoy refreshments from our onsite cafe (please note we do limit time on site after to 30mins due to other activities and sessions that may be taking place).

Age Limit: 16yrs (under 18's to be accompanied by a partcipating adult)

*Please note - You will be required to stay in an allocated area during your lake dip. Contrast therapy is better practiced using the guidelines below and so the usual lake swim route will not be an option on this session. We have a large area (to the right of the jetty) which is 1.2m depth and partially astroturfed underfoot where you can stand/crouch or gently swim around.

Research recommends the below time to be spent in the Sauna and Lake (alternating), this is a guide only and we advise that you should not push yourself or feel uncomfortable at any point. If you do, it is time to get out and let your body recover.

SAUNA: 10-11mins followed by 1-2mins LAKE DIP
a gentle stroll back to the Sauna - allows your body to regulate before re-entering the heat.

You can repeat the above as many times as you wish during your allocated time slot.

WHAT TO BRING?

• 2 Towels - one for sitting on in the Sauna and one for drying yourself after your dip.
• Flip Flops/suitable footwear - no shoes allowed in the Sauna, but we do ask that your feet are clean (let's leave the lake in the lake!) So footwear should be easy to slip on and off and you be happy to leave outside the sauna.
• Usual swimwear - swimming costume/swim shorts. A swim cap is not mandatory for this session.

SAUNA ETIQUETTE

• Please dry yourself as much as possible before entering the Sauna.
• Please check your feet are clay free before entering the Sauna.
• Leave your lake towel on the hanger outside.
• Have a clean dry towel to sit on in the Sauna.
• Please ensure you shut the door behind you (until it clicks) to minimise heat loss.
• Check with other users before adding water to the stones - only a small amount is required and this will create more heat. Too much water will cool the temperature, so please only add a small amount at a time.
• If you feel dizzy or too hot, please exit the sauna and have a moment outside to settle on one of our benches.
• If you feel unwell please advise a team member or ask another Sauna goer to report on your behalf.
