cold tub

Frigid soaking vessel

A cold tub is a container of cold water used for immersion, typically for recovery after exercise or as part of a wellness routine.

Cold tubs range from simple ice-filled containers to specialized units that maintain precise temperatures.

The practice, sometimes called cold plunging, is believed to reduce inflammation and improve circulation: I finish every workout with five minutes in the cold tub.
