A professional rowing channel will appear in Syzran
This will happen after all GET pond cleaning operations have been completed.
In a few years, a rowing canal may appear in Syzran, where competitions of the highest level will be held. Such confidence was expressed, commenting on the progress of work on cleaning the GET pond, where the Syzran water-rowing sports base is located, through the management of the Syzran Olympic Preparatory Sports School No. 2 and the city rowing federation.
The final work is currently underway at the GET pond as part of the first stage of cleaning. As a reminder, cleaning work on the lower section of the Syzranka River has been underway since 2022 as part of the federal project "Preservation of Native Waters" of the national project "Ecology". This project is being implemented in accordance with the decision of President Vladimir Putin.
In total, within the first stage of the project, following the results of the first stage, dredgers will clear more than 41 hectares of the reservoir territory from vegetation and bottom sediments. It was erased.
Syzran SSO No. Larisa Shlepp, director of DP-2, notes that the situation with Syzran rowers has now improved significantly, and they are beginning to perform rowing training sessions better.
- Previously, we went to deeper waters to conduct training courses. Now you can immediately leave the dock and go to a training course. For us, this is very good, because we have a lot of children," Larisa Shlepp said in an interview with KTV-LUCH.
GAU SShOR No. Inna Simonova, a top-category coach in academic rowing-2, noted that the quality of training of young athletes has improved after the cleaning operation.
- The difference is significant. Finally, there is enough distance for the training process. I want to say that the training process has improved. But for competitions, this is still not enough. Because we need lanes for 6 boats. So far, we have managed to partially participate in competitions with only four boats," Inna Simonova explained.
All hopes for a full-fledged channel for coordinating athletes depend only on the implementation of the second stage of cleaning the reservoir.
- We would like to thank the regional Ministry of Forestry and the Ministry of Sports, the Governor of the Samara Region for their efforts to include us in the second stage. Because if the entire water area is cleared for the coordination and development work at the second stage, this facility will have great opportunities for holding all-Russian and regional competitions. This is very good, because there is no shipping on this body of water and it is very safe for both children and teenagers," says SShOR No. 1. Larisa Shlepp, director of "2", emphasized:
- The second step involves cleaning the trash can. All the islands remaining in the center are completely removed. This will allow rowers to hold competitions here, and people to relax in a completely different way," said the acting Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of the Samara Region, Maxim Shago, who visited Syzran on October 30 to get acquainted with the progress of the work. : commitment.
Next year, work to clear the reservoir will continue within the framework of the new federal project "Water of Russia". The implementation period for the second stage is from 2025 to 2027.
