Zaraysk Authorities Designate Single Safe Swimming Area on Osetr River

As summer activities begin, the Zaraysk Fire and Rescue Service (МЧС) has issued strict guidance restricting swimming to a single designated area in the region. Located on the Osetr River near Pravoberezhная Street, this is the only officially approved swimming zone in Zaraysk where the riverbed has been inspected by specialists and medical personnel are on duty. The precise GPS coordinates for the approved beach are 54.752464, 38.856861, provided to help residents locate the safe swimming area.

Authorities have warned that swimming in unregulated locations or unauthorized beaches poses serious health and safety risks. Violations of these restrictions constitute administrative breaches under Article 3.7 of the Moscow Region Code of Administrative Violations and carry financial penalties. The ban on wild beaches and unsupervised swimming areas reflects broader safety concerns across the Moscow region, which has approved 90 recreational water zones this year, though Zaraysk's approval remains limited to this single location.

Parental supervision of minors is mandated by regional law 148/2009-ОЗ, which strictly prohibits children from being at any body of water without adult accompaniment. Parents and guardians are warned that leaving children unattended near water—even briefly—is unlawful and puts minors at serious risk. The Fire and Rescue Service emphasizes that water safety is a shared responsibility, urging residents to use only the equipped beach facility on the Osetr River for family recreation.
