High-Pressure Inflatable Ice Bath
For gardens that aren't round. And for those who like to swim from end to end.
Inflatable cold plunge tub: rigid structure, quick set-up, for your recovery routine at home.
The rectangular shape isn't just about aesthetics. It's about space and use. It fits naturally into a tiled terrace, along a façade or in a long garden where a circle wouldn't sit. And for swimmers who want to go back and forth rather than round in circles, it's simply the shape that makes sense. Same high-pressure inflatable technology. Same complete pack. Same 1-year commercial warranty. Just a different shape.

Description
Inflatable Ice Bath
The GIGI FRANCE inflatable ice bath is made for anyone who builds cold recovery into their daily routine — athletes, martial artists, wellness enthusiasts — without wanting a permanent installation. Its high-pressure technology (a double-layer textile wall) delivers rigid, stable walls when you get in: no sagging, no distortion, just the firm, contained surface a serious cold plunge demands.
Compact and easy to store, it sets up on a patio, in a garage, in a large bathroom or outdoors in a few minutes, then folds back into its bag between sessions. No permanent plumbing, no building work. You use it wherever and whenever you need it.
The high-pressure fabric stands up to cold, damp and repeated fill/empty cycles — demands that are far tougher than those on a leisure pool. The GIGI ice bath is sized for a seated, shoulder-deep immersion, in a tub whose walls do not flex under your weight.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need planning permission or a declaration to the local council?
- No, in the vast majority of cases. GIGI FRANCE pools are removable structures. Many states and municipalities exempt small, removable above-ground pools from permitting, and standard GIGI FRANCE models are designed to stay compact. Rules vary by state and local ordinance: check with your local building department if you have any doubt.
- What surface can the pool be installed on?
- On any flat, stable surface: lawn, slab, wooden or tiled terrace, concrete. No specific concrete slab is required. Allow a space slightly larger than the pool's dimensions so you can move around and reach the filtration.
- How long to set it up and be able to swim?
- Inflation takes under 30 minutes with the electric pump supplied. Connecting the filtration unit takes a few more minutes. Filling with water — the part that takes time — depends on your model's volume and your tap pressure: allow several hours. Plan the setup the day before to swim the next morning.
- Is the pool compatible with a heat pump?
- Yes. GIGI FRANCE pools are compatible with standard heat pumps on the market. The pump connects as a bypass on the existing filtration circuit.
- What happens in the event of a leak or technical problem?
- Every GIGI FRANCE pool comes with a complete repair kit (patches and glue) so you can deal with any small puncture yourself. The 1-year manufacturer's warranty covers manufacturing defects: replacement or refund, no argument. Our support team replies within 24 hours by email, phone or WhatsApp.
- Can you sit on the edge of the pool?
- Yes. High-pressure inflatable technology (15 PSI) makes the wall rigid enough to support the weight of a seated adult. It's one of the fundamental differences from a conventional inflatable, whose edges sag.
- What is the difference between 47 in and 59 in depth?
- At 47 in, children can stand on the bottom and adults can paddle and relax. It's the ideal depth for family leisure use. At 59 in, adults have water up to their shoulders standing — the real swimming depth, the one that lets you do laps, float on your back, feel like you're in a pool. Each model in our catalog states its depth.
