Proslav sent a team along the Trubezh River in Pereiaslav and published a location‑by‑location report on the state of the town’s informal swimming spots in summer 2026.
The report names several distinct sites. White Bridge is described as badly silted and unpopular this season, while the Old Weir gives off an unpleasant animal smell that discourages swimmers. The Locks remain an active spot with decent depth (though somewhat muddy). A shallow site known locally as the “Bridge with two pipes” is used by families and small children.
Closer to the town centre, the beach by “City Smoke” shows improvement this year — added lighting and evening events have made it a cleaner, busier option. The Pidvarskyi bridge area is mixed: volunteers have cleared some access points, but other sections are overgrown and littered. Katerynka emerged as the most consistently popular spot; Valok still attracts youth despite a broken tarzan‑rope and shallow, murky water.
Proslav published video material linked in the report. The article urges swimmers to check spot conditions in person, to take safety precautions where depths and currents vary, and to dispose of their rubbish responsibly.
