The Summer Plunge: 15-Day Ice Bath Challenge

❓FAQs

How long is each plunge?

That’s up to you. Stay in for 30 seconds to 3 minutes based on your experience and goals. We’ll guide you through safe and supported immersion.

Can I miss a day?

Absolutely. We know summer is busy with travel, holidays, and life happening. Your goal is simply to complete 15 plunges between 4–30 August. You can spread them out, double up on days, or adapt as needed — it’s about finishing your 15, not perfection.

How do I book?

All plunges and add-on sessions are booked through Fresha, just like any treatment at the Lounge. You’ll get a link to reserve your daily slots when you sign up.

How do I book recovery sessions?

If you’re on Wellness Warrior or VIP tiers, your recovery sessions are booked directly with our team and must be taken during challenge hours. Sessions are 15 minutes and subject to availability.

Is this beginner-friendly?

Absolutely. You’ll be guided and supported the whole way. No pressure — just progress.

Any medical risks?

Please consult your GP if you’re pregnant or have cardiovascular or high blood pressure issues. You’ll be asked to sign a health waiver on registration.

What do I need to bring?

Just swimwear, a towel or robe, and good vibes. Bring a friend or your brave face — we’ve got the rest.

What happens at the launch event?

We’ll kick things off with a guided breathwork training session to help you master your cold plunge mindset. It’s the perfect way to prep your nervous system and set the tone for the challenge.

What’s included in the celebration event?

On the final evening, we’ll celebrate your wins with an exclusive Lounge gathering — expect community, good vibes, and a few well-earned surprises. We’ll also announce prize winners here.

What are “express wellness treatments”?

They’re 15-minute focused treatments to support your body and mind during the challenge. You can choose from:

• Light Flow Massage

• Leg Flush

• Head & Neck Reset

These are short, effective, and designed to keep you feeling fresh. 

Can I upgrade my tier or add a pack later?

No — all packs and tier upgrades must be selected at the time of booking. This helps us manage availability and ensures fairness.

Do you have showers, parking, and a café?

Yes! Cardiff Wellness Lounge is fully equipped for your comfort:

• Showers available before or after your plunge

• On-site parking (limited availability – first come, first served)

• The Lounge Café is open for hot drinks, wellness lattes, and light bites — a perfect post-plunge reward!

Do I need to be used to cold water to take part?

Not at all. The Summer Plunge is designed for all levels — whether you’re a seasoned dipper or trying it for the first time. We’ll guide you with breathwork and support throughout.

What if I feel nervous or unsure during the challenge?

Totally normal — that’s what makes this powerful. You’ll have full support through the WhatsApp group, launch event, and Lounge staff. This challenge is about growth, not pressure. 

Is this challenge refundable?

Unfortunately, all bookings are non-refundable, as spaces are limited and time-specific. If you're unsure, we recommend starting with the Community tier.
