The capital’s authorities begin to prepare such zones in April, since in May the townspeople already set up barbecues, play ball and settle down near reservoirs.
There are two types of recreation areas in the capital: where sunbathing is allowed and where you can also swim. Whether a body of water belongs to one type or another depends on the safety of the lake, pond or section of the river. It is determined by microbiological indicators of water, the absence of dangerous objects on the bottom and the entire beach area.

Big city pond
In the central part of Zelenograd there is a large city pond, the coastal part of which is the capital’s beach. It owes its appearance to the construction of a dam on a river called Skhodnya. During the years of the USSR, Zelenograd was closed from prying eyes; there were no large industrial enterprises here. Thanks to this, the region’s territory, including reservoirs, is characterized by a minimal degree of pollution. The large pond is located in Victory Park, near the city administration. Most holiday events and folk festivals are held here.

Black Lake
This modest-sized reservoir is located in a wooded area of Moscow - in the 6th microdistrict. The Black Lake was formed naturally and was fed by crystal clear water from springs for quite a long time. Unfortunately, over time, its reserves were depleted, which led to a fourfold decrease in the already small reservoir. In those areas where there used to be water, now only a swamp overgrown with reeds remains.
Citizens from neighboring areas still go to the lake to swim in the water, which remains icy even in July and August.

School Lake
It was created in the same way as the Big City Pond, on the Skhodnya River. In the 19th century, as a result of the construction of a dam, a small river became a large reservoir. Once upon a time, water was drawn from it for steam locomotives that ran between Moscow and St. Petersburg.

On hot summer days, it is vital for every person to somehow cool down. An excellent way to do this is bathing. Of course, it is best to go on vacation somewhere by the sea and enjoy the clean and gentle water there. You can go out of town, for example to your dacha or village, and happily splash around in the local pond.
But what should those residents of Moscow do who do not have the opportunity to escape from the capital in the summer and experience all the delights of water activities? Fortunately, they were also lucky, because in the capital there are several places where swimming in the summer is officially allowed. One of them is the Levoberezhny beach (Moscow), located near the metro station " River Station».
Swimming in Moscow in summer: is it possible?
Surely many residents of such a large metropolis as Moscow often wonder whether it is even possible to swim in local reservoirs. After all, we live in big city with a huge number of cars and a rather polluted environment.
However, not everything is so bad in the Russian capital, and you can find a place where you can swim safely in the summer months. Every year, Rospotrebnadzor checks everything. This research and a variety of other aspects become the criteria on the basis of which a list of beaches is compiled where you can not only sunbathe, but also swim.
Before the start of the swimming season in Moscow, which usually starts on June 1, a list of permitted beaches is published in various media, so every resident of the metropolis can freely find out about them.
What are the requirements for swimming areas?
What must be on a beach to be considered suitable for swimming? Firstly, it is high-quality water in the place where it is located. The reservoir must be suitable for swimming and meet all microbiological and sanitary-chemical standards. This is exactly what Rospotrebnadzor establishes through laboratory research. The sand available on the beach, play areas designated specifically for children, and
In order for the beach area to meet all the necessary requirements, all last year’s sand must be removed from it. The reservoir must be cleared of foreign debris, and its disinfestation must also be carried out. The entire beach area must be cleaned and the toilets cleaned.
An examination is required by divers working in the Moscow City Search and Rescue Service. They conduct an initial survey of the water, then and finally a repeat survey when the swimming season is already open.
In places of mass bathing there should be no whirlpools, fast currents or groundwater outlets to the surface. There must be signs on the shore that say “Swimming Place,” and in the water, the boundary of a suitable swimming place is marked with orange buoys. They should be located at a distance of up to 25 meters from those places where the depth is 1.3 meters or more, and the intervals between them should be 25-30 meters.
Every 50 meters of the beach there are stands with lifebuoys and cords. They should be no more than 5 meters away from the edge of the water. Of course, there must be rescue booths and medical stations.
Allowed places for swimming in the capital
By the beginning of the 2016 swimming season, the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations for the city of Moscow declared only 12 reservoirs suitable for swimming, but as many as 47 beaches were named where you can relax without swimming. It was noted that in 2015 there were the same number of places for swimming, so you can count on the fact that in 2017 there will be no less, and maybe even more.
The list of vacation spots where you can cool off in a local pond includes:
- Levoberezhny beach (Moscow);
- three beaches in Serebryany Bor;
- beach complex "Beach Club";
- large garden pond;
- three places in the large city pond and Black Lake;
- Lake Beloe;
- Meshcherskoe;
- Troparevo.
Beach in the north of Moscow
Organized recreation areas where you can swim safely in the summer are located in different areas of Moscow, and even in Zelenograd. In the very north of the city there is the Levoberezhny beach, reviews of which claim that this place is perfect for family and youth recreation both on a hot day and at any time of the year.
In general, this beach appeared here back in the 50s of the last century, so the indigenous residents of the area have been coming here to swim for many years.

Not only residents of the surrounding areas know how to get here , so there are a lot of people who want to visit this place in the summer.
The beach is located in a small bay. Due to the fact that various ships that often ply along the canal do not pass through it, it is quite clean and even warms up almost to the bottom. However, approximately in the middle of the bay there are cold springs, which it is better not to fall into, otherwise your legs may cramp.
Since the beach was formed thanks to a quarry that was used to build a canal, the sand on it is local and quite coarse. Sometimes there may be stones, so you should walk barefoot very carefully. The bottom is also sandy, the entrance to the water is neat and gentle. There is also a special place on the beach intended for children to swim.
Beach improvement
Since the Levoberezhny beach (Moscow) came under the jurisdiction of the State Autonomous Institution of Moscow “Museum and Park Complex “Northern Tushino” in 2015, large-scale reconstruction and improvement work has begun here.
