About to experience the advantages of a cold plunge

I've been reading on the advantages of a cold plunge and I decided to get one, but with no experience I could use some help.

I started the same way with lots of reading, zero idea where to begin. A few things helped me when I was starting out: keep the first dips short, don’t force anything, and warm up slowly afterward. The routine kind of builds itself once you get used to the shock. And there are actually thousands of YouTube videos, websites like IICA and Chief Ice Officer that guide beginners pretty well. I also used them too, including websites that guide breathing techniques like Wim Hof and Box Breathing. And I almost forgot, starting with cold showers works pretty well too
