"As double Olympic finalist Sydney and Athens - and current employee of LOCOG - the coordinators of the 2012 Olympics - I am delighted by Cressida Brown's dynamic, innovative and important Swimmer Project. It shows the very cultural enterprise, social interrogation and artistic experiment that Britain hoped would be encouraged by hostingthe Games and therefore is a project for us to celebrate and be proud of."

Georgina Lee, LOCOG

Offstage’s Olympic Swimmer Project is a pioneering collaboration between sport and art that will expose urban heritage, give voice to an athletic community, raise timely cultural issues and promote cross-cultural creativity through education. Part of the project is new play AMPHIBIANS by critically acclaimed playwright Steve Waters.
