cold plunge
Frigid water dip
A cold plunge is a brief immersion in cold water, typically in a tub or pool kept near freezing temperature.
The practice is promoted for health benefits—reduced inflammation, improved circulation, mental clarity.
I do a cold plunge every morning after my workout.
The term also describes the vessel itself: We installed a cold plunge on the back deck.
