New sauna for winter swimmers at King’s Cross
Who doesn’t like to warm up in a sauna after a cold swim? Swimmers at the delightful King’s Cross Pond Club will now be able to do just that thanks to Bathing under the Sky who have provided a barrel sauna where up to eight swimmers can thaw out at a toasty 90 degrees. Access to the sauna is free to paying visitors to the pond and will be on the site throughout the winter months.
King’s Cross Pond is the UK’s first ever man-made fresh water public bathing pond and also doubles as a piece of innovative Land Art within a working construction site. The 40m long, natural, chemical-free pond is the creation of Ooze Architects (Eva Pfannes and Sylvain Hartenberg) and artist Marjetica Potrc.

I created Outdoor Swimmer in 2011 (initially as H2Open Magazine) as an outlet for my passion for swimming outdoors. I've been a swimmer and outdoor swimmer for as long as I remember. Swimming has made a huge difference to my life and I want to share its joys and benefits with as many people as possible. I am also the author of Swim Wild & Free: A Practical Guide to Swimming Outdoors 365 a Year and I provide one-to-one support to swimmers through Swim Mentoring.
