Your Guide to Saunas & Steam Rooms
Introduction
At The Olympic Pools and Fitness Centre, wellness isn’t just a trend—it’s a tradition. Nestled within one of the region’s most iconic fitness hubs, our sauna and steam room facilities offer a sanctuary where heat, hydration, and relaxation converge. Whether you’re unwinding after a swim or seeking a mindful escape, step into our thermal oasis and let the stress of the day melt away.
Why Choose The Olympic Pools and Fitness Centre?
Our facilities blend modern luxury with time-tested wellness practices:
- Premium Finnish Sauna: Experience dry heat (70*C–80*C°) in our cedar-lined sauna, designed to promote deep sweating and muscle recovery.
- Aromatic Steam Room: Breathe in eucalyptus-infused steam (50*C-60*C) in our humidity-rich chamber, ideal for respiratory health and skin rejuvenation.
- Convenient Access: Located steps away from our Olympic-sized pools, combine your swim workout with a post-lap thermal session for ultimate recovery.
Health Benefits Tailored to Your Routine
- Boost Post-Workout Recovery
After laps in the pool or a high-intensity session in our gym, the sauna’s dry heat enhances circulation, easing muscle soreness. The steam room’s moist warmth can loosen stiff joints—perfect for active members. - Elevate Your Skin Health
Our steam room’s humidity opens pores and flushes toxins, while the sauna’s heat may promote collagen production. Pair your session with our onsite skincare products (available at reception) for glowing results. - Strengthen Immunity
Regular use of both facilities has been linked to improved circulation and reduced inflammation. The steam room’s eucalyptus infusion can also clear sinuses during allergy season. - Mental Reset
Unplug and unwind in our tranquil thermal zones. The heat triggers endorphins, melting stress and priming your mind for better sleep.
How to Maximize Your Visit
- Pre-Session Prep
- Hydrate well before entering (water stations are available near the locker rooms).
- Shower to remove chlorine after swimming—it ensures a more effective sweat.
- Limit sessions to 15–20 minutes for beginners; seasoned users can stay up to 25 minutes.
- Cool-Down Rituals
- Post-sauna, take a lukewarm shower to gradually lower your body temperature.
- Dip into our cold plunge pool (seasonal availability) for an invigorating contrast therapy session.
- Replenish
Refuel with electrolytes or infused water from our café. Avoid alcohol or caffeine afterward.
