As Part of Curriculum, Children In Siberia’s School Throw Buckets of Icy Water Over Themselves

As school children, having a cold shower in the morning is the least favorite thing that they have to go through first thing after they woke up. They would prefer to have a nice warm shower instead so that they are going to feel great to start the day.

The story is different for Siberian school children as they have to throw buckets of icy water over themselves. This has to be done because it is part of the school curriculum.

All the five and also six-year-old at the school in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia have to drench themselves in icy water. In fact, most of the students’ parents have given their permission for their children to take part daily because they believe that doing that, can help to ward off infections.

The teachers there stated that the cold showers that they are doing could lead to the children being less sick. Other than that, they also say it could make the children be more “sensible, balanced and also optimistic”. According to a report, the children would take cold showers daily after they had a hot sauna. They also declared that the temperature should be no lower than 25C.

A spokesperson for the Krasnoyarsk education department said, “The little walruses warmed themselves in the sauna and went outside for a traditional cold water shower”. Even though the process might sound challenging for the children to withstand, they actually have been taught breathing exercises for the deep cold.

A teacher named Lyubov Daniltsova said, ” Our doctor confirms that children in groups that practice dousing get through the flu season a lot more easily but generally the statistics show there is 95 percent of healthy children in the ‘wet’ group, compared to 75 percent among the others”.
