The latest addition to our array of facilities designed to enhance your sporting experience. Whether you're looking to relax, rejuvenate, or recover, our plunge pools offer the perfect solution.

Elevate Your Recovery with Hot and Cold Plunge Pools

Incorporating hot and cold plunge pools into your recovery routine can significantly enhance your athletic performance. Here’s how:

• Hot Plunge Pools: Soaking in warm water increases blood flow, helping to relax muscles and ease tension. This promotes quicker recovery from workouts and reduces soreness.

• Cold Plunge Pools: Alternating with cold plunges can reduce inflammation and numb pain. The cold water constricts blood vessels, helping to flush out metabolic waste and accelerate recovery.

By alternating between hot and cold plunges, you can maximise the benefits of both, improving circulation, reducing muscle soreness, and enhancing overall recovery.

Plunge Pool Protocols for you to try:

Recovering during a hard week of training?
- 1-3 minutes cold
- 3-5 minutes hot
- Repeat 3-4 times, or as necessary

Played a tough game yesterday?
Try pushing for some longer intervals
- 5 minutes cold
- 5 minutes hot
- Repeat 2-3 times, or as necessary

Got some bruises or contusions?
You should avoid a hot jacuzzi within the first 48-72 hours of the injury, as it could potentially worsen swelling and pain. Stick to the cold to reduce inflammation and swelling
- Try to hit 10-15 minutes in the cold.

Tips for using the plunge pools

- If you're new to contrast therapy, start with shorter durations (e.g., 2 minutes hot, 30 seconds cold) and gradually increase as you become more comfortable.

- Practice controlled breathing to help manage the shock of cold immersion. Deep, steady breaths can enhance relaxation and tolerance.
