This guide explains what to expect at Sweat and Chill, from the facilities and session format to prices, getting there and similar venues close by, so you can decide whether it suits you before you book.

Sweat and Chill has a traditional sauna: a timber room heated by a stove and stones rather than infrared panels. Temperatures in traditional saunas usually sit between 70 and 90°C, and the heat surrounds you rather than warming you from one direction. Short rounds of around 10 minutes, followed by a cool-down, are the usual way to use it.

For a serious cool-down, Sweat and Chill has an ice bath. Water near freezing takes your breath away at first, which is why venues encourage slow entry and calm breathing. Most people alternate a sauna round with a brief ice bath and a rest, repeating the cycle two or three times.

With Sweat and Chill close to the beach, the classic way to use it is heat, then ocean, then rest. Book your session, warm up properly in the sauna, then walk down for a dip and come back to warm up again. Ocean temperatures change through the year, so winter dips are far colder than summer ones. Only swim between the flags or in safe, calm water, and skip the dip if the surf is up.

• Heat rises, so the top bench of a traditional sauna is noticeably hotter than the bottom one. Choose your level accordingly.
• Keep your first ice bath short: 30 seconds to a minute is plenty. Breathe slowly through the cold shock.
• Drink water before and after, skip alcohol, and leave the heat straight away if you feel dizzy or unwell.
• Check what Sweat and Chill provides, such as towels, robes, lockers and toiletries, so you know what to pack.
