Why recovery matters

🧚
Cold Water Immersion

Cold water constricts then dilates blood vessels, flushing out what makes you sore. Regular exposure can reduce next-day soreness by up to 20%.

🔥
Heat Therapy

Heat increases blood flow to muscles and improves sleep quality — both directly affect recovery and performance.

🔄
Contrast Therapy

Alternating ice bath and sauna forces blood vessels to rapidly open and close, speeding up muscle repair.

💧
Active Recovery Swimming

Easy swimming reduces swelling and keeps circulation going and joints mobile without adding load.

Recovery protocol

Getting the most from recovery.

1
Post-Training (0–30 min)

Get in the ice bath within 30 minutes of finishing, while inflammation is highest.

2
Contrast Protocol

3 min ice bath → 10 min sauna. Repeat 2–3 rounds. Finish cold for recovery, warm for relaxation.

3
Consistency Is Key

Two or three recovery sessions a week makes a noticeable difference within a month or two.

4
Active Recovery Days

Use the 20m pool for easy swims on rest days — 20–30 mins of easy freestyle.

All Included in Perform Membership

Unlimited ice bath, sauna, spa pool and 20m pool access — from $49.50/week.
