WOmen's 100m breastroke....

Jamaica's Alia Atkinson won her heat in 1:07.39 - a PB!

Of course, swimming is done on times, so we'll have to see if it's good enough to get into the semis....

St Lucian Danielle Beaubrun sixth in her heat in 1:11.12....

EDIT: Atkinson makes the semi-finals!

Another world record! Dana Vollmer of the US wins the 100m butterfly with 55.98....

Semis of the men's 200m freestyle....

Brett Fraser of Cayman sixth in 1:47.01 after leading for most of the race.

Atkinson came fourth in her women's 100m breaststroke semi after leading for most of the race, in a time of 1:07.48. Could she have to go thru a swim-off with her Canadian rival to get into the final?

EDIT: Atkinson wins the swim-off with a time of 1:06.79, and reaches the final of the women's 100m breaststroke....
