I certainly haven't taken a cold shower since the concussion in Marrakech in 1990.
I'm thinking I should be tagging this.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So maybe ice bath...swearing a lot...drain the bath and then hot bath? Would that negate the ice bathing?
Probably. But I felt really on fire warm when I was done -- I didn't need anything other than a big fluffy robe.
just have your spouse buy lots of ice and fill up the bathtub at home?
Lacking a spouse, I bought the ice myself. Two 7lb bags dumped into a cold bath, and jump (okay, lower myself angrily) into it right away.

Also, lisah, you only have to go as far as sitting in the ice water. ita goes and gets herself beat up all over, so she has to go all the way in.

That's true! Unless I fall over.

Fruitbats.
I'd much prefer to be creaky and use that as an excuse to sleep, like my dad did.

Your tag here.
How long do you stay in the ice water?

I don't need excuses to sleep. I need time.
I stayed in about five to eight minutes. After three it gets much easier.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
After three it gets much easier.
...because your entire body has gone numb?
