Chicoutimi’s port area transformed into an urban beach
The City of Saguenay is developing an urban beach in the port area of Chicoutimi (Canada), set to open by the end of June 2026. The project, estimated at $750,000, includes a sandy beach, vegetation plantings, a volleyball court, and a water mirror. Although the new facility will not allow swimming, water jets will allow visitors to cool off. The basin will be fed by water jets and covered with sand and fine gravel. This new attraction in downtown Chicoutimi aims to turn the port area into a public space accessible to all.

Bordeaux and South Korea’s opposing approaches to port swimming
In Bordeaux (France), the Grand Port Maritime swimming crossing took place on 7 June. Organised by the Girondins club, it raises awareness of environmental issues linked to the river. This year, it is part of the EDF Aqua Challenge, a national competition with 10 stages. In South Korea, by contrast, the government is imposing restrictions on swimming activities at small fishing ports such as Panpo Port and Wolryeong Port. These ports went viral on social media and attracted large crowds, leading to a rise in accidents. The average number of drownings in Jeju during summer rose from 8 to 13 between 2022 and 2025. The revised Fishing Villages and Fishery Harbors Act now bans swimming at fishing ports and imposes fines of up to 500,000 won, enforceable from April 2027.
