A bus driver on the Olympic park, Semina (Sam) Yousef has swum the distance of 1270 bus route in Aquatics Centre. Neville Gabie captured this feat on film, as she is one of the artists of Olympic Delivery Authority in the Park programme. With this film, a personal insight into the life and jobs of ordinary people can be seen. These ordinary people have been a significant part in the story of the construction of Park and venues.
The ODA’s Director of Venues and Infrastructure, Simon Wright stated, “Since construction started in 2007, the bus drivers on the Olympic Park and Village have been a constant and essential part of the workforce.”
He further added, “Sam’s story captures the Games ethos of being "part of it". It’s an amazing achievement for her to have swum over 25 lengths in the Aquatics Centre and highlights the role of local people in delivering the Games. The ODA's Arts and Culture programme has played an integral role in capturing these hidden stories, and in engaging and involving communities throughout the project.”
