Hi Guys (and Girls),
My devochka and I are trying desperately to find somewhere to swim. Anyone reccommend a swimming hole for us? We tried Lake Bezimyannoe (Krasnoye Selo), it's the only place that is safe to swim in the whole of SPb according to the government. It was overcrowded, full of varocious beer drinkers and their voluptuous wives.
Any advice would be fantastichiski!

Clean water in Russia?

Can't say I've heard of such a thing.
Mind you, I've seen Muscovites swimming in the lakes at Kuzminki and they know very well that the Soviets dumped large amounts of nasty chemicals there. They swim in the filty Moscow river too. Don't think I'd take the plunge in either of them.

I should just take a shower together, much safer, much cleaner and probably much more fun

Haha, thanks guys. We once became witnesses of a corpse been take out of the Neva. A few months later avid Saint Petersburger swimmers were jumping in having a whale of a time.

Looks like it will have to be the old bucket of water and a beach ball again.

Change your forum skin to Original and that way you see the report button so the mod's know when the "New Member" is actually a spammer, I already reported Shelia Spammer-Smith earlier on to them.
