Swimming in an indoor pool during winter or going to the gym? The answer is clear! Swimming, of course. Swimming tops actor Dido Machev’s list of favorite sports.
Interview with Dido Machev at the indoor swimming pool
Dido Machev is a Bulgarian actor and television presenter. He was born on July 4, 1955. He worked in the theaters in Haskovo and Sliven. After 1990, he moved to perform on the stage of the Satirical Theatre. His better-known roles there include Galab in “The Dove” by Shomov, Metodi in “To Kill a Prime Minister” by Emil Andreev, Kalabushkin in “The Suicide” by N.

Diyan Machev has also hosted shows such as “Family Feud” and “The Big Question” on Nova TV.
This swimming pool is almost Olympic-sized and is designed for improving skills both in and under the water, as well as for sporting competitions. The indoor swimming pool at “Pulse Fitness & Spa Bulgaria” is 25 m long and 1.6 to 1.80 m deep, divided into several swimming lanes. The pool water is purified using special German bio-products, and the temperature is maintained at 27°C, making it the perfect choice for aqua activities in both summer and winter.
Swimming or the gym?
We found the answer to this question in our interview with Dido Machev. Still, the best approach is to combine gym workouts with swimming. Gym workouts allow us to target each muscle group. After a few months, our muscles will be stronger and more toned. However, weight training carries a higher risk of injury if the exercises are not performed under the guidance of a professional fitness trainer.
The risk of injury when swimming is much lower than when training with free weights. This is the gentlest sport in terms of strain on the body. Swimming increases lung capacity, hydrates the skin, and reduces stress. Almost all muscle groups are engaged when swimming. The upper body gets the most active workout, which is why it’s a good idea to combine swimming with gym workouts!
