plunge bath
Icy quick soak
A plunge bath is a small, deep pool or tub designed for immersing the body quickly, typically in cold water.
Plunge baths are common in spas and bathhouses, where they follow saunas or steam rooms to close pores and invigorate circulation: After the sauna, I took a quick dip in the plunge bath.
The term also applies to similar tubs used at home for cold-water therapy.
