Join us now and maximise your experience at Luxborough Lake by swapping up your cold water swims for the heat and pleasure of our new Sauna, provided by the team from Wildheat Sauna.
This excellent addition to what we offer allows you to gain the full benefits of heat and cold exposure, aka Contrast Therapy. The physiological benefits include improved cardiovascular function, reduced resting blood pressure, enhanced immune function plus increasing the speed of recovery from exercise to name just a few, while the psychological benefits of enhanced mood and wellbeing make this a must-do activity.
Sauna & Dip bookings refer to alternating between sauna and a quick dip in the refreshing water of the lake. We DO NOT allow extended periods of swimming pre, during or after your sauna use.
To ensure the safest use of the sauna we DO NOT encourage individuals to undertake a prolonged swim (10mins+) in cold water and then to use the sauna. Please do not make a booking for an ‘Open Water Swim’ on the same day as booking the Sauna & Dip.
