Ice Bathing 101

Three questions. Three answers.

01

Why do it?

Cold boosts dopamine and noradrenaline, trains your vagus nerve, and freshens up tired muscles. Over the weeks, stress fades. That's not magic. That's physiology.

02

How often?

Two to three times a week is plenty. One to three minutes is enough. Consistency beats duration. Short and steady gets you further than long and rare.

03

How to start safely?

Start with cold showers. Then open water, breathing calmly through your nose. Never longer than three minutes. Don't go alone your first time. Bundle up warm right after.

Before you start

Ice bathing is a routine. Not a dare.

A few ground rules we'd urge on everyone. Whether it's your first session or your hundredth.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

From your first session to your hundredth. Eisbaden is clean, fast, and quiet.

You breathe. We count.

Start, stop, lead-in. Or log it manually after the session. Eisbaden detects your location, pulls the air temperature from Apple Weather, estimates the water temperature, and saves it all automatically.

  • Stopwatch or countdown, both with a lead-in
  • Automatic water temperature & weather
  • Location via CoreLocation, optional
  • Live Activity in the Dynamic Island
02 · Stats

See how far you've come.

Streaks, weekly heatmaps, personal bests. Watch yourself go deeper over days, weeks, months. Without ever pushing you into a likes race.

  • Personal heatmap for every month
  • Streak tracking with reminders
  • Personal bests, averages, record lows
03 · Apple Watch, Wear OS & Garmin

Wear it on your wrist.

Apple Watch, Wear OS and Garmin Connect, fully integrated. Start right from your wrist without reaching for your phone. Complication on the watch face, Live Activity on the iPhone. Works offline, too.

Questions

What you want to know.

The most common questions, kept short and free of marketing speak.

Eisbaden is free to use. All core features are free. An optional Premium subscription unlocks extra features like heart rate, stats and leaderboards. No ads, no third-party tracking.

We build the app because we use it ourselves. Premium is optional and helps us keep developing Eisbaden ad-free.

Connect your Garmin account via Garmin Connect in the app settings. Sessions you record on your Garmin watch automatically appear in Eisbaden. And vice versa.

The connection runs officially through Garmin Connect (OAuth). You can disconnect it at any time.

Ice bathing is demanding on the body, but practiced safely it's generally accessible to healthy adults. Stick to the tips in the “Before you start” box above.

If you have cardiovascular conditions, are pregnant, or have other health concerns, talk to your doctor first.

iPhone with iOS 17 or later and Android phones running Android 8 or later. Plus Apple Watch (native app + complication), Wear OS, and Garmin watches via Garmin Connect. A web app is being explored — see the roadmap.

Yes. Sessions are recorded locally and sync automatically once you're back online. The Apple Watch works without your iPhone in range, too.

Your sessions belong to you. What you share in the feed is only visible to friends and club members. There's no ad-network tracking and no data sharing with third parties.

You'll find the details in the privacy policy (German).

We estimate air and water temperature at your location using CoreLocation and Apple Weather. It's a reference value. You can manually override the actual temperature at any time.
