Swimming pools offer various benefits. Coupled with the right landscaping features, they can turn plain backyards into stylish and practical outdoor living spaces that increase property value. Pools can also be venues for fun and aquatic exercises.

 

As for small backyards, home owners can make the most out of limited space by opting for plunge pools. Very easy to maintain, plunge pools provide an opportunity to take refreshing dips and soak away stress from the daily grind.

 

With the region’s warm days getting longer and more intense, you may be more inclined to install cold plunge pools in Perth. Hot water in spas or heated pools might be popular for health reasons, while cold water is often simply seen as being a means to refresh oneself on scorching days. A cold plunge, however, offers several health benefits as well.

 

It can improve blood circulation.

 

Since ancient times, cold water plunges have been used in various forms of hydrotherapy that mainly promote blood circulation. With improved circulation, your organs get more of the nutrients that they need as these are carried by the blood, while impurities get flushed out more efficiently as well. For healthy individuals, cold plunges are said to help tone the skin and stabilise blood pressure through repeated cold exposure.

 

How to enjoy this health benefit: Take a hot shower, soak in your hot tub, or use your sauna for a few minutes. Afterwards, take a cold water plunge once your body has slightly cooled down. The heat will bring your blood closer to your skin’s surface, and the cold will then stimulate movement of blood to the inner organs to keep them warm..

 

It can enhance immunity.

 

Submerging in cold water can improve your body’s defences. A Czech Republic study showed that cold water helps activate the immune system by stimulating the production of proteins like cytokines, which greatly aid in the body’s response to infection, inflammation, trauma, and even cancer.

 

Perth pool experts, such as Palm City Pools, can complement your installation with additional water features and other optional extras that will help you maximise the benefits from your plunge pool.
