plunge pools
Small immersion pools
Plunge pools are small, deep pools designed for immersion rather than swimming.
They appear in two main contexts: natural basins at the base of waterfalls where falling water has carved out rock, and compact backyard or spa installations meant for cooling off after a sauna or simply refreshing on hot days.
The cabin had a wood-fired sauna and a cold plunge pool.
