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.

01 · Timer

You breathe. We count.

Start, stop, lead-in. Or log it manually after the session. Eisbaden detects your location, fetches the weather, determines the water temperature, and saves it all automatically.

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

See how far you've come.

Streaks, a yearly heatmap, personal bests. See how you keep it up over days, weeks and months. Without ever pushing you into a likes race. Detailed stats are part of Premium.

  • Activity heatmap for the whole year
  • 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, fully integrated. Start right from your wrist without reaching for your phone. Live heart rate on the watch, Live Activity on the iPhone. Works offline, too. Watch support is part of Premium.

  • Native Apple Watch app with live heart rate
  • Wear OS app for Android watches
  • Dedicated Garmin app, import via Garmin Connect

Questions

What you want to know.

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

Eisbaden is free to use. Timer, tracking, feed, clubs and events are free. An optional Premium subscription unlocks extras: Apple Watch, Wear OS and Garmin support with heart rate, detailed stats and full club leaderboards. No ads, no ad tracking.

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

Install the Eisbaden app from the Connect IQ Store on your Garmin watch and connect your Garmin account in the app under Settings → Smartwatch. Ice baths you record with the Eisbaden app or your watch's ice bath activity then appear in Eisbaden automatically.

The connection runs officially through Garmin Connect (OAuth) and is part of Premium. 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 18.6 or later and Android phones running Android 8 or later. Plus Apple Watch with watchOS 11 or later, watches with Wear OS 3 or later, and Garmin watches with a dedicated Connect IQ app. Watch support is part of Premium.

Yes. Sessions are recorded locally and sync automatically once you're back online. Apple Watch and Wear OS also record without your phone in range and transfer the session later.

Your sessions belong to you. You decide who sees them: only you, your friends (default) or everyone. There's no ad tracking and we don't sell data. For crash reports we use Sentry with servers in the EU.

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

We first use real readings from gauging stations (PEGELONLINE). If there are none, we estimate the temperature from the last few days of weather at your location. It's a reference value. You can manually override the actual temperature at any time.

Last step

The water is waiting.
So is the app.

Eisbaden is free for iOS and Android. No ads, no ad tracking. Promise.
