This is where we celebrate our bold and beautiful community of cold dippers. The ones who swim in our seas and rivers all year round, dip in baths and barrels, and take to the lake come rain or shine. Those who take on the challenge and chase the epic high of the bracing cold wherever you find it. This is where we inspire those new to cold water to embrace its magic. Because once you do, you’ll never look back.
Shirley Ballas is never the finished article.

We’re Brass Monkey®. We make ice baths that do good and look good. We’re not doctors. We’re not scientists. But do pay close attention to the ever-emerging scientific evidence proving what cultures around the world have known for thousands of years.

By controlling the water’s temperature and the time we’re immersed, we take the health benefits without facing the real dangers our ancient biology is designed to protect us from.
Your Brass Monkey is built for you to make friends with the cold. And like any healthy friendship, it needs to be built on a mutual respect. Follow this guidance to ensure your monkey is happy and you stay healthy.
