We have never done anything like this before, but we can confidently say that the Sauna and Swim experience was fantastic and that we will be doing it again. The young woman from Rvival (sorry, I can't remember her name) couldn't have been more helpful and gave us all the information that we needed, and more.

Really cool in the dark, hostess was fab. Stars were out and stunning, water was suitably freezing! Thank you
