Inflatable pool for ice baths and cold training – Arctic Tub from Cologne, available for delivery throughout Germany and the EU
An inflatable pool is the flexible solution for anyone who wants to enjoy ice baths easily and on the go. Whether at home, on the go, or on vacation – an inflatable ice bath pool is quick to set up, easy to transport, and space-saving to store. Arctic Tub from Cologne offers high-quality inflatable ice baths that are available for delivery throughout Germany and the EU.
With an inflatable pool, you get a portable cold training tool that allows you to start ice swimming anytime. Ideal for beginners, athletes, and anyone who wants to make their cold-water routine flexible.
What is an inflatable pool?
An inflatable pool is a lightweight and portable alternative to a rigid cold plunge pool. It is made of durable, air-filled material and is:
· Assembled in a few minutes
·mobile use
·Space-saving storage
·easy to transport
This way you can enjoy ice swimming anywhere – in the garden, in the gym, during training or even while traveling.
What are the advantages of an inflatable pool?
An inflatable ice bath pool offers you:
·maximum flexibility and mobility
·quick setup and takedown
·lightweight and easy to handle
·space-saving storage
·low acquisition costs
Beginners especially benefit from the uncomplicated handling. But experienced cold-training enthusiasts also appreciate using inflatable pools when they are on the go.
How long does an inflatable pool last?
Lifespan depends on material quality and maintenance. At Arctic Tub, we use robust, multi-layered materials that, with proper use and care, will last for many years. For the ice pools in the Polar Fox series, we use durable drop-stitch material, the same material used in paddleboards. It's important that the pool is cleaned regularly and not left in direct sunlight for extended periods.
Can an inflatable pool be used outdoors in winter?
Yes, our inflatable pools are suitable for year-round cold-water training. They can easily be left outdoors even in sub-zero temperatures, as long as the water is changed regularly and the pool doesn't freeze completely. For maximum durability, we recommend an insulating cover for continuous winter use.
How much water fits in an inflatable pool?
Depending on the model, the capacity ranges from 200 to 300 liters. This gives you enough water to fully immerse yourself and effectively complete your cold water training. At the same time, the water consumption remains manageable, making filling and changing the water effortless.
What's the best way to transport an inflatable pool?
An inflatable pool can be folded up compactly after deflation and transported like a travel bag. Arctic Tub supplies suitable carrying bags, allowing you to conveniently take your pool anywhere – to the gym, for training, or even on vacation.
Inflatable pool or rigid pool?
Inflatable pool:
·flexible and lightweight
·Ideal for on the go and beginners
·Quickly assembled and disassembled
Fixed basin:
·stable and durable
·permanently ready for use
·visually superior and more comfortable
The choice depends on your goals: If you want to use cold training flexibly and spontaneously, an inflatable ice bath is the perfect choice. However, if you're looking for a permanent solution, a rigid pool is a better option.
Health benefits of inflatable pools
Even in an inflatable ice bath pool, you can experience all the positive effects of cold training:
·Promoting regeneration
·Strengthening the immune system
·Anti-inflammatory
·Activation of brown adipose tissue
·Mental strength through cold adaptation
This makes the inflatable pool an effective health and fitness tool.
Is an inflatable pool safe?
Yes. Our pools are made from durable materials and can withstand everyday wear and tear. The air chambers are designed to ensure the pool is stable and allows for safe entry.

Health Benefits and Physiological Foundations
What Does Ice Bathing Actually Do?
Ice bathing, also known as cold water immersion, offers far more than just a short-term refreshment. Numerous scientific studies confirm the positive effects on the human body – particularly on the immune system, metabolism, and physical and mental resilience.
The sudden contact with cold water activates the sympathetic nervous system, leading to an increase in noradrenaline. This neurotransmitter boosts concentration and alertness, while simultaneously promoting anti-inflammatory processes – a particular benefit for those with chronic conditions.
What Does a 3-Minute Ice Bath Do?
A three- to five-minute ice bath can stimulate circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and stabilize the cardiovascular system. Calorie expenditure increases slightly through thermogenesis – up to 200 calories per session is a realistic estimate. Regular cold exposure also stimulates brown adipose tissue, which contributes to the body's own heat production.
Is Ice Bathing Good for Body Fat?
Cold stimuli not only boost circulation but also fat metabolism. Brown adipose tissue in particular – an energy-consuming tissue type – is activated through regular ice bathing. Combined with a healthy diet and exercise, this can contribute to a reduction in body fat.
Smoother, Firmer Skin Through Ice Bathing?
Ice bathing can have positive effects on the skin by stimulating circulation and helping to reduce pore size. It soothes inflammation and can contribute to clearer, more radiant, and firmer skin.
Application and Practice
How Do You Ice Bath Correctly?
A controlled approach is essential to safely and effectively reap the benefits of ice bathing. It is recommended to gradually acclimatise to the cold, for example through cold showers in everyday life. Conscious breathing also helps to mentally manage the cold stimulus. Beginners should not bathe alone and should limit their time in the water to a maximum of one minute at first.
How Often Should You Ice Bath Per Week?
Whether daily ice bathing makes sense depends on your personal condition and goals. For most users, a frequency of two to three times per week has proven effective. Those who respond well to the cold can bathe more frequently – but sufficient recovery time should always be observed.
How Do You Best Start Ice Bathing?
For those trying ice bathing for the first time, the following steps are recommended:
Incorporate cold showers into your daily routine
Start with water at around 10–15 degrees Celsius
Gradually increase the duration over time
Always take ice baths under supervision
Ensure proper aftercare with warm clothing and adequate hydration
Technical Aspects and Conditions
Is Cold Water Enough for an Ice Bath?
Extreme temperatures are not necessary for an effective ice bath. Water at 10–15 °C already produces a noticeable effect. Cold tap water – optionally supplemented with ice – is sufficient. Specialised containers such as ice tubs or wooden barrels offer consistent temperature control and increased comfort during use.
What Do You Wear When Ice Bathing?
Swimwear is typically worn during ice bathing. Additionally, neoprene gloves and shoes are recommended to protect sensitive extremities, as well as a hat to minimise heat loss through the head. After the bath, warm, dry clothing is essential.
Should You Take a Warm Shower After Ice Bathing?
After an ice bath, natural rewarming is preferable to quickly heating up with a hot shower. The body benefits from regulating itself independently. Warm clothing, movement, and hot drinks all support this process and help avoid cold shock while preserving the positive effects.
How It Works in Detail
How Does Ice Bathing Work?
The effects of ice bathing are based on targeted thermal stimulation. As soon as cold water contacts the skin, blood vessels constrict (vasoconstriction) to protect the body's core temperature. At the same time, heat is generated through thermogenesis. Regular cold exposure leads to improved cold adaptation – the body learns to respond more efficiently to temperature changes.
In addition, after approximately 2–3 minutes in ice water, the thermal stimulus triggers the release of hormones such as adrenaline, endorphins, and cortisol.
How Long Do You Need to Ice Bath to Feel the Effect?
Even short ice baths of two to three minutes are sufficient to achieve sympathetic activation and anti-inflammatory effects. Combined with exercise, such an ice bath can support recovery and slightly increase energy expenditure.
How Long Do You Need to Ice Bath to Activate Brown Fat?
Brown adipose tissue is activated through repeated cold stimuli. Ice baths lasting several minutes over the course of several weeks can increase the activity of this thermogenic tissue. This tissue burns energy to produce heat and can thus contribute to weight management.
Is a 5-Minute Ice Bath Safe?
For healthy individuals who have gradually acclimatised, a 5-minute ice bath is generally safe. However, individual differences should always be taken into account, and medical advice is recommended for those with pre-existing conditions.
Summary and Outlook
Ice bathing offers a wide range of effects on both a physical and mental level – from enhanced recovery and anti-inflammatory processes to support for energy expenditure. It helps reduce stress through the release of endorphins, improves mood by stimulating hormone production, and promotes the production of white blood cells, thereby strengthening the immune system. A mindful approach, regular application, and the right conditions are key.
