SWIM SESSIONS - F.A.Q'S
I HAVE NEVER SWAM IN OPEN WATER BEFORE, CAN I BOOK?

​IS THERE A CHANING AREA?
There is a small changing area as you enter the sauna to hang your robe and leave your belonging.
There is a door providing privacy and a heat trap for the sauna room.
​
CAN I PUT WATER ON THE STOVE?
Customers can manage the steam that rises from the sauna stove which controls heat and intensity. Water must be drizzled on and not dumped. Although adding water over the rocks humidifies the session and is one of the best aspects of the authentic sauna, please remember not to dump water on the rocks. Instead, drizzle water on with a
ladle intermittently until the heat reaches an appropriate level.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ADIDNG WATER?
Dumping water on the stove will make the sauna feel hotter momentarily, but is actually counteractive in increasing the temperature of the room as the excessive water will cool down the sauna rocks.
​
WILL STAFF MEMBERS BE PRESENT?
A member of staff will be available for questions or the event of an emergency.
