A woman wearing goggles, flippers and a shark fin swam five times around the Tritons fountain in Valletta this morning, to the cheers of her husband, father-in-law and bus drivers.

Katya Mifsud, 31, had won the Bay Radio Crazy Dare Challenge where listeners had to submit their proposal for a dare. The prize was €1,000 from Malta Gold.

The fountain was given a through clean-up and had its water replaced last Thursday but people could today still see many bottles, cups and other waste floating around and on the bottom.

Mrs Mifsud wore ear plugs and showered with water containing antiseptic as soon as she got out.
