Welcome to Infinity Float. We are a tranquil space in the heart of Botany, aiming to be a refuge from the sensory overload of daily life. If this is your first time trying a float tank, please take some time to read through the following information carefully. Call us if you have any questions about your first float.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your float session so our friendly staff can walk you through your first floating experience, complete some forms, and answer any questions.
To prepare for your first session, please avoid:
You’ll spend an hour or so lying quietly in the dark, floating effortlessly in 30cm-deep skin-temperature salt water.
Like many things, floatation therapy can take some practice. It works differently for everyone. As a first-time floater, you might spend some time adjusting to the environment. Calming music and starry lighting ease you into the experience, eventually turning off so you are left in silence. The starry lighting can be kept on if you wish.
Once you have adjusted, you’ll enter a meditative state of complete sensory deprivation and relaxation. We recommend floating at least three times before deciding how float therapy fits your lifestyle. You’ll experience different benefits in each experience and adjust quicker to the environment each time. Our 3-float introductory pack is designed to help you discover if float therapy is for you.
One of our friendly team members will show you to your private room. The suite has a shower and float pod, and clean towels, earplugs, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided. You must shower well when you visit the studio before entering your float tank.
Swimwear is optional. We recommend not wearing swimwear to ensure the body receives little sensory stimulation.
You’ll float in 600kg of Epsom salts with a 50% magnesium concentration for one hour. The salt water will be at the same temperature as your skin, minimising distractions and making you feel fully relaxed. This completely relaxed state of mind might help you focus better, feel meditative, or even fall asleep.
After one hour, music will play. Please sit, open your pod, regain your bearings, and exit the pod for a shower. We allow a full 90 minutes, giving you time to shower before and after your session.
Complimentary tea is offered following your session.
If you suffer from nausea, manageable epilepsy, or depression, please discuss this with our float staff.
If you feel claustrophobic, you may keep the lights on and step in or out of the float tank anytime. Our Dreamweaver Float Room offers more vertical space than our other float tanks, creating a relaxing experience for first-timers and anyone with claustrophobia.
Please avoid colour treatment of your hair at least seven days before your float. Wait at least three washes for blonde colouring (or until at least 14 days before your float). Please wait for seven washes after dark hair (brown, black, red, etc.) treatments.
Infinity Float has the right to refuse clients for these reasons, as colour treatment can contaminate the water. Failure to follow this requirement may result in a penalty for the cost of refilling the tank.
