Floating Sauna Bristol

Floating Sauna Bristol | West Country Water Park

Sauna, dip or swim?

Your sauna session lasts 60 minutes, and you can only use the sauna during the time you’ve booked.

Dipping means jumping into the dip zone beside the sauna to cool off, then getting straight back out. You can’t swim around in the dip zone.

Fancy a proper swim as well? Book a swim session separately. You can swim before or after your sauna session.
