In Odesa, water quality at beaches has been checked — where it is safe to swim.

The Odesa Regional Center for Disease Control and Prevention has published a list of beaches that are suitable for swimming after laboratory tests. Among the popular locations in Odesa are the Chornomorska and Prymorskyi beaches. However, experts warn that water quality may change, especially after rain.

Laboratories of territorial centers for disease control and prevention under the Ministry of Health of Ukraine are conducting continuous monitoring of water quality at beaches and water bodies in the region. In the city of Odesa, the following places are recommended for swimming:

• 'Bez mez' (inclusive beach at 'Delfin')
• 'Kaleton' (beach 'Delfin')
• 'Buffet' at Maloho Fontana
• 'Grand Petting' (Dacha Kovalevskogo)
• And others.

Safe swimming beaches in Chornomorsk and in the village of Prymorske in the Izmail district have also been indicated. No official swimming season has been opened at other beaches in the southern regions. Specialists emphasize the need to check the current information about water quality before visiting a beach, as water may temporarily pose health risks after rain. They remind that it is safe to swim only at officially designated and equipped beaches.
