Nothing is the best thing to wear for a float as the sensation of your swimming costume can detract from the experience.

Ten minutes of relaxing music will ease you into the float session. It usually takes about 15 minutes to enter the first stage of deep relaxation and the remaining 45 minutes pass pleasurably.

The end of your float session will be signalled by the re-introduction of music.

1) What is floating?

Essentially, it’s spending an hour or so lying quietly in the dark, suspended in a warm solution of Epsom salts, about 10" deep and so dense that you float effortlessly. We play gentle music to help you relax. In short; it’s complete mental and physical relaxation.

Research shows that when the brain is freed from all sensations – gravity, temperature, sight, sound, touch – it enters a theta brainwave state which can normally only be achieved through deep meditation. Floating is a short cut to the beneficial effects of years of meditative training.

8 Can I float if I am pregnant?

Yes, although it is always a good idea to check with your GP first.
The weightless environment of the tank is actually greatly beneficial for expectant mothers. Stress and strain on your back and abdominal muscles is alleviated during your float. The deep state of mental relaxation is also wonderful for both mother and child. It makes for a great bonding experience.

9 What if I can’t swim?

You don’t need to swim – you will float like a cork! The density of Epsom salts in the water will support you entirely. The water is also only 10 inches deep so you can touch the bottom at any time.

10 How much does it cost?

A single session is £35 (Off Peak Tue-Thur 10am or 11.30am £25). It’s important to have at least between 3 and 5 float sessions to feel the full benefits of floating.
We offer pre-paid packages of 3 float sessions for £70 or 5 float sessions for £100

11 How do I know it is hygienic?

The high salt content of the water means that nothing harmful can live in the float environment. An advanced filtration system filters the water between each float session ensuring a totally clean, sterile environment. And we are registered and regularly checked by the local environmental health and health and safety office

12 Is there anyone who shouldn’t float?

Anyone suffering from epilepsy, schizophrenia, or acute skin disorders should avoid floating.
It is inadvisable to float during menstruation.

13 Is there anything else I should know?

Avoid shaving on the day of your float as freshly shaved skin may be irritated and thereby detract from the experience.
