Swimming: Irish record holder Andrew Bree has been drawn in lane two for heat five of the men's 100metres breaststroke on Saturday evening, the opening night of the swimming competition at the National Aquatics Centre.

Bree took the pool along with other Irish hopefuls Melanie Nocher and Aishling Cooney today to get familiar with the surroundings.

The Helen's Bay swimmer gets his Olympics underway at 1.23pm (8.23pm local time) on Saturday.

The first action on Saturday is the men's 400 individual medley, to feature American Michael Phelps, who is hoping to win eight gold medals at these Games.
