Float Pool Session (60min)

A 60-minute floating session in an open-design pool (2.30m x 2.30m) with a 2-metre ceiling height, offering the same 25% Epsom salt solution and body-temperature water as the enclosed pod but in a spacious, non-claustrophobic environment.

The open float pool at tranxx provides an alternative floating experience for clients who find enclosed pods uncomfortable or claustrophobic. Measuring 2.30m x 2.30m with a 2-metre ceiling height, the pool offers a generous, airy space that maintains the core therapeutic benefits of flotation therapy — effortless buoyancy in a 25% Epsom salt solution at body temperature — without the enclosure that some first-time floaters find intimidating. Claustrophobia is one of the most common barriers to trying flotation therapy, and the open pool design directly addresses this concern. The high ceiling and wide pool dimensions create a sense of spaciousness that allows the floater to relax more fully on their first visit, without the distraction of worrying about touching walls or feeling confined. For experienced floaters, the open pool offers a different sensory profile — while it cannot achieve the same level of total darkness and silence as a closed pod (some ambient light and sound remain present), many floaters find the open environment more conducive to a meditative, expansive state of consciousness. The pool can accommodate one or two people simultaneously, making it suitable for couples or friends who want to share the floating experience. While floating together necessarily changes the nature of the sensory deprivation (the presence of another person introduces sensory input), shared floating sessions are popular for special occasions and as an introduction to the practice for nervous first-timers who find comfort in having a companion present. The therapeutic benefits are identical to enclosed pod floating: cortisol reduction, parasympathetic activation, theta-wave brain states, transdermal magnesium absorption, pain relief from gravitational unloading, and the cumulative stress-management benefits that develop with regular practice. The only difference is the degree of sensory restriction — the open pool provides partial rather than total sensory deprivation, which many clients actually prefer as their regular floating format.
