- Vinterbad aldrig alene
- Træk vejret roligt - det kolde vand kan give midlertidig åndenød
- Nøjes med korte dyp på f.eks. 5-10 sekunder de første gange du vinterbader
- Gå langsomt på badebroen og trappetrinene, da de kan være glatte
- Spring aldrig i det kolde vand på hovedet
- Vinterbad aldrig hvis du er påvirket af alkohol
