Beach on the Sviyaga River

For many years it's prohibited to swim in the Sviyaga. But every summer in hot weather there are many people who swim in its polluted water. Many of these swimmers are children. According to the data of the city center of sanitary-and-epidemiologic institution, water in the Sviyaga doesn't satisfy norms of bacteriological and chemical indexes. Swimming here can cause allergic reactions and enteric infections. But in spite of all prohibitions citizens swim in the Sviyaga.
