Following the installation of outdoor Gym equipment in Riverside Park, subject to regulatory approval and funding, wellbeing organisers are hoping to host a series of regular events for all ages in the area.
Spokesperson David Davies said: "The proposal is to link a gym session to a riverside sauna facility or quick dip in the Dee, gaining the health benefits of physical exercise heat generation with that of cold water cleansing.
"Sessions will initially be free and include a special weekly, early morning time for those over 75 years old.
"Initially, dress style will need to be suitable for both activities until changing cabins can be provided."
He added: "Research from Scandinavian countries shows many benefits from such an activity programme combination including improved health, social communication skills improvement and an increased happiness index."
