For a lot of guests, the ice is easy and the rest room is hard. Ten minutes with no phone and no talking can feel long the first time.

Give your eyes somewhere to go

Every lounger faces the water. Watch the boats, the light on the harbour or the steam coming off your skin.

Notice three things

Where you feel warm first.

How your breathing has changed since the plunge.

The sound of the room when nobody is talking.

When the bell goes, you will be surprised it has been ten minutes.
