Park bus driver swims the length of her route in London 2012 Aquatics Centre

Semina (Sam) Yousef, a bus driver on the Olympic Park, has swum the distance of her 1,270m bus route in the Aquatics Centre.

Her feat was captured on film by Neville Gabie, the Olympic Park’s Artist in Residence who is part of the Olympic Delivery Authority's (ODA’s) Art in the Park programme. The film gives a personal insight into the life and jobs of ordinary people, who have been part of the story of the construction of the Park and venues.

Simon Wright, the ODA’s Director of Venues and Infrastructure, said: ‘Since construction started in 2007, the bus drivers on the Olympic Park and Village have been a constant and essential part of the workforce.

‘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.’
