It is before maghreb

To perform Iʿtikāf is there a period time to enter to start the Iʿtikāf? Some say the person has to enter mosque and start his Iʿtikāf before the call of azahn maqrab P.S if the intention is one day Iʿtikāf Please advise

Is it permissible to take bath in a pond outside but nearby the mosque while I am in Itikaf? It is too hot & sweats too much. Cloth & body gets soaked by sweating & makes bad smell. If not permissible then what to do? There is no internal arrangement for shower in the mosque.
