    It was brilliant Tom, a fantastic advertisement of the benefits of open water swimming. There will be people who take to the water after watching.

    I'm a photography student in university, I've just done a module on documentary photography and I had chosen to document Seaton Carew, I came across a few members of the Brass Monkeys and had taken photos of them, they told me they had a documentary and I had to check it out and I'm not disappointed amazing work, great video!

      Thanks for that, glad you enjoyed it. I had a great time creating it and I became a full brass monkey afterwards. I go every Saturday and Sunday now. Great people. I’d love to see what you create if you choose to share it.
