2-5 minutes with your body submerged in 40-50° is the recommended time to receive the benefits of cold therapy. Important to note, this is a recommendation, and not advised for everyone.

What wearable devices do you support?

GoPolar is currently available on Apple Watch, but we will be releasing a Garmin connect app in November 2024.

Where can I find places to cold plunge?

Coming soon: we will have a directory of locations on this website that you can cold plunge at. This will include a number of indoor and outdoor locations. Stay tuned!

What temperature should the water be?

The ideal temperature to submerge your body up to your neck for a cold plunge is below 59° Fahrenheit (15° Celsius).

Do I need an Apple Watch to use the app?

Yes, you will need an Apple Watch in order to use the GoPolar activity tracker, which allows you to track your cold shower, cold plunge, and sauna.

However, you do not need the Apple Watch app to find cold plunge locations. That is accessible on this website after creating an account (coming soon).
