Wales' Calum Jarvis was the fastest of the home nations' qualifiers in the Commonwealth Games men's 200 metres freestyle heats at Tollcross on Friday morning.
His time of one minute and 47.10 seconds placed him third fastest, behind Australians Cameron McEvoy and Thomas Fraser-Holmes.
Scotland's Robbie Renwick stormed back in the final lap to finish second in his heat behind the impressive-looking McEvoy in a time of 1min 47.15secs, with James Guy of England also a qualifier.
Nick Grainger of England, Canada's Ryan Cochrane and Ieuan Lloyd of Wales all finished in joint-eighth place with the same time of 1:48.98 and faced a swim-off to determine who would go through to the evening final.
In the women's 50m freestyle heats, ahead of tonight's semi-finals, Francesca Halsall finished fastest with a Games record of 24.31, with fellow Englishwomen Amy Smith and Jess Lloyd also among the qualifiers.
Scotland will be represented by Sian Harkin while Hannah McCarthy will race for Wales.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
