She hasn't quite worked out how to spin CDs and chat on the microphone while swimming, but she has MFM's hardy tech crew working hard to meet her needs and we are confident they will get the result.

So listen in to Krys on 107FM broadcasting live from the big pool on the High Street from 10am - 12noon on Saturday 26th, and if you're in town over the weekend why not come down to support EG Swimming Club and see the spectacle!
