The press service of the department reported that greatest number places for immersion in water and performing Orthodox rites are located in the Orekhovo-Zuevsky and Dmitrovsky municipal districts - 16 fonts each. In the Solnechnogorsk district there are 15 places for winter dipping, 12 each are located in the Shchelkovsky district and the urban districts of Istra and Yegoryevsk. In our article we will present a complete list of fonts and Jordans in which you can swim this year.
Where to swim at Epiphany in the Moscow region 2018: Comfort, convenience and safety
It is worth noting that when checking places for swimming pools, almost 100 violations were identified, but now all of them have been eliminated. According to the State Administrative Supervision Service, the shortcomings mainly related to improper maintenance of the territory and poor quality winter cleaning of existing pedestrian paths and sidewalks. Inspections of the areas and approaches to the swimming pools will continue until January 19.
Things to remember:
1. You need to get into the water quickly.
The sooner you immerse your body in the icy water of the Epiphany ice hole, the less chance you have of getting hypothermia.
2. Stay in the water for no longer than 20 seconds.
This is especially true for those who are diving for the first time. It is advisable to stay in the ice hole for at least 10 seconds. This is necessary so that the blood has time to flow to the heart, move away and rush back.
3. Do not dry yourself after going out.
Active rubbing after ice water, and even in the cold, can damage the fragile small capillaries of the skin.
4. You need to get dressed as quickly as possible.
To do this, you should make sure in advance that the clothes you will wear after swimming have a minimum number of fasteners and buttons.
5. After swimming, it is advisable to go for a run.
To quickly warm up your body after you leave the ice hole and get dressed, you can do some physical exercise, such as jogging.
5 common mistakes when swimming in an ice hole:
1. Do not dive into the ice hole headlong.
If you are already diving into an ice hole, then you need to plunge completely, headlong. Otherwise, a sharp temperature difference between the body and head can provoke vasospasm.
2. Eat dietary foods the day before.
In ice water, your body will really need energy. Lard with black bread, nuts, dried apricots and raisins can provide a good influx of energy for the body on the eve of bathing.
3. Pat yourself on the body after leaving the ice hole.
Here the reason is the same as in the case of wiping with a towel. Such pats in the cold can damage small vessels of the skin.
4. Try to warm up on exercise machines.
Many people try to warm up their body as much as possible before swimming in an ice hole with the help of physical exercises or even exercise equipment. This should under no circumstances be done. Your muscles may suffer microtrauma.
5. Drink alcohol.
After swimming, some people think that they can quickly warm up with alcohol. This is wrong. Alcohol can give an imaginary feeling of warmth only in the first few minutes, when under its influence the blood vessels dilate. After this, they narrow sharply and you risk freezing very quickly.
Who should not dive into the ice hole:
— If you are not feeling well or suffer from some illness, refrain from swimming in the ice hole.
— In addition, first of all, children under 6 years old should not plunge into the ice hole. The release of hormones from immersion in cold water can seriously weaken their immunity.
— Pregnant women are not allowed to swim either. Temperature changes can easily cause premature contractions and even miscarriage.

Where to swim on Epiphany in Moscow? This question interests more and more residents of the capital’s metropolis every year. There is nothing to be surprised here: over the past decades, a huge part of Russians have turned to religion, and many began to remember Orthodox holidays and traditions.
The question of where to swim on Epiphany in Moscow has also become relevant because there is a legend: those who plunge into an ice hole on the day of Holy Epiphany will not get sick for a whole year. Residents of the capital's metropolis believe that Epiphany water can heal not only the body, but also the soul. However, you need to remember that not every person is recommended to swim on the night of January 18-19. And even more so, residents of Belokamennaya should know where to swim on Epiphany in Moscow.
Epiphany is a revered holiday among Russians
Surely no one will dispute the fact that Epiphany is a significant holiday for the Orthodox, and the tradition of swimming in cold water on the night of January 18-19 did not appear yesterday. Despite this, few residents of the capital's metropolis know exactly when and where to swim on Epiphany in Moscow.
Representatives Orthodox Church They declare that you can wash your body in an ice hole at any time of the holiday. However, we should not forget that the liturgy falls on the morning of January 19: it is at this time that the fonts are consecrated, after which the body and soul can be healed.
Unique properties of healing water
Even doctors of science and academicians agree that Epiphany water has unusual properties. The clergy, in turn, declare that on the day of Holy Epiphany the water is in its pristine state. In other words, she becomes the way the Almighty created her.
Features of bathing at Epiphany
Epiphany should not be viewed as some kind of water festival. It is very important to attend the liturgy on this day. After this procedure, representatives of the clergy begin to consecrate the water, which then does not lose its unique properties throughout the year.
On this day it is customary to swim in an ice hole. And in this regard, a huge number of residents of the capital are interested not only in the question of where to swim at Epiphany in Moscow, but also in whether this ritual is acceptable for everyone. Of course, anyone, if they wish, has the right to swim in cold water on the night of January 18-19. However, a caveat must be made here: if there are health contraindications, then you should avoid swimming in the ice hole. It is very important to consult your doctor about this. Moreover, sadly, the list of contraindications is quite long. First of all, we are talking about cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the genitourinary system and respiratory tract. Pregnant women should also not swim in the ice hole.
