Winter Bathing with Children
Winter bathing is a healthy and refreshing activity that can be enjoyed at any age. Children can get a lot of fun and satisfaction from winter bathing together with their family. It’s a great way to breathe fresh air, get moving, and spend time together. Regular winter bathing can support a child’s immune system and help them become more resilient against illness. It can also release endorphins—natural well-being substances in the body—which may help improve mood and reduce symptoms related to depression and anxiety. Overcoming the challenge of cold water can build confidence and self-esteem.
The best way to introduce your child to winter bathing is to lead by example. Show your enthusiasm and let them see how much you enjoy it. Children should always be supervised by an adult when winter bathing. Only bathe in areas where lifeguards/supervision is available. Keep in mind the risk of hypothermia: children lose body heat faster than adults. It’s important to respect the child’s limits and not pressure them if they don’t want to bathe. Winter bathing should be a fun and positive experience for the whole family.
Change robe
We offer a wide selection of Annox Kids change robes, an innovative and functional robe designed especially for children who love winter bathing. It’s made from 100% recycled nylon with an eco-friendly water-repellent treatment. Our kids’ change robes feature an extra-warm synthetic “lambswool”-type lining, which mimics the softness and warmth of real wool with added benefits. The lining is made from recycled materials, making it an eco-friendlier choice. Kids’ robes dry quickly after use, helping prevent moisture and odors, and they can be machine-washed easily. With a super-warm synthetic-lining change robe, your child can focus on enjoying the unique benefits of winter bathing in comfort and warmth.
Neoprene booties
We offer a selection of neoprene booties that are perfect for children who want to get started with winter bathing. They’re made from recycled neoprene, making them a more eco-friendly option. They keep feet warm and dry even in cold winter conditions. They’re soft and comfortable to wear for longer periods too. The material is durable and designed for repeated use. Neoprene booties help keep feet dry and warm, which can help prevent hypothermia. Winter bathing locations may include sharp objects on the seabed, such as stones, shells, and glass. Docks and steps may have rusted nails or other sharp items. Booties protect feet from cuts and punctures. In winter, docks and steps can be icy or covered in snow; in summer, they can be wet and slippery. Booties improve grip and reduce the risk of slipping and falling.
Towels
The Annox towel is made from microfibre and is designed to dry quickly and effectively. The material absorbs water fast, so your child stays dry right away after the bath. It’s essential for children who love winter bathing: practical, comfortable, and versatile—large enough to cover the body and ensure effective drying, warmth, and comfort after the cold dip.
Portable ice baths — the perfect option for winter bathing with children
A portable ice bath is a good way to introduce children to winter bathing safely and comfortably. It lets them explore the world and discover the benefits of winter bathing. With a portable ice bath, the temperature can be lowered gradually over time, giving your child a chance to adjust to the cold step by step—and helping prevent fear of the temperature.
