(Reuters) - Children watch their classmates pour cold water on themselves under the watch of a fitness coach at a local kindergarten in Russia's Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk.
The programme, which also involves sports training and sauna usage, has been practiced by the kindergarten for more than 15 years as they believe it has health benefits and keeps the children fit.
Children start pouring cold water on themselves outdoors after about three years of training and undergoing medical tests, and the kindergarten is the only one in the region that practices these exercises, according to employees.
