The area of Moscow's water bodies is more than 3 thousand hectares, more than 140 rivers and streams flow through the capital's territory, and more than 400 lakes and ponds of natural and artificial origin can be counted on the city map.
The main river arteries of Moscow are the Moskva, Setun, Yauza, Skhodnya, Gorodnya rivers. 33 large tributaries with a length of more than 25 km depart from the Moscow River. These are the small rivers Yauza, Setun and Skhodnya, starting in the Moscow region.
Over the past 20 years, the quality of water in Moscow’s water bodies has been gradually deteriorating. This is due to the development of environmental areas and the deterioration of the general environmental situation in the city. Another important reason is that the ratio of wastewater and natural reservoirs in Moscow is 1:2, which means that city rivers consist more of wastewater. And even cleaning them doesn't help them be environmentally friendly. The water quality of the Moscow River leaves much to be desired, since the content of zinc and heavy metals in its water exceeds permissible standards.
Swimming in the Moscow River is not recommended. Despite this, the rivers, streams, ponds and lakes of Moscow remain very picturesque, they are navigable: tourist boats, boats, boats and river trams ply along the rivers and reservoirs. Motor ships begin their journey from the Novospassky Bridge and sail to the Kievsky Station.
Fans of sunbathing and swimming need to remember that most rivers, lakes, ponds and reservoirs within Moscow are used only for recreation on the shore. The number of city places where swimming is officially permitted varies between 8-10 recreation areas. The situation with lakes in the Moscow region is much better; a much larger number of them are included in the list of suitable for swimming.
Due to the cold and unstable climate, the swimming season in Moscow traditionally opens on June 1 and lasts until early September.

Three beaches per city
In addition to the beaches within the Moscow Ring Road or immediately beyond its borders, the Moscow authorities allowed swimming in Zelenograd.

Although autumn has already arrived, while the warm sun is shining, the question of where you can sunbathe in Moscow still remains relevant. Especially for those who were forced to stay in the sultry city this season. So where in Moscow can you get a bronze tan?
