Dana Vollmer set the world record at the 100 meter butterfly, becoming the first swimming Olympian from the United States to set a world record. Vollmer set a time of 55.98 seconds, the first women to go sub-56 seconds in the 100 fly.

Nathan Adrian led the 4 x 100 meter relay final for the United States that featured Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, but despite a strong first leg that put the USA in first place for most of the relay, they faded down the anchor leg (which is usually where Adrian swims) and fell to silver. It's Adrian's second relay medal in the 4 x 100 free; he won gold in Beijing after running the prelim in 2008.

The replay of the swimming events are all available on NBCOlympics.com if you have access to the live coverage. Vollmer's swim is around the nine to ten minute mark, Adrian's relay starts around the hundredth minute (1:40:00ish).
