In this field, the work of Aleksandar Petrović, who in recent years with a team of club seniors, has achieved great successes in national and world championships.[2]
In January 2023, the city unveiled plans to expand the Štrand beach downstream and refurbish the beach area with more entertainment options and accommodations, moving the rowing club Danubius 1885, kayak canoe club Vojvodina and restaurant Cesla to Kamenica Island upstream.
