Rising star Sam Hynd smashed the S8 200m freestyle mark in the morning heats with a time of 2:11.12.
The women's 50m backstroke also yielded success for the British team with Heather Frederiksen (S8) and Stephanie Millward (S9) breaking European and world records respectively in the heats. Frederiksen, a former open water swimmer, twice lowered the European record, touching home in her heat in 38.04 before lowering it further to 37.53 seconds in the final to win the silver medal.

Wheelchair basketball: The British women won bronze with a 57-34 score over Brazil, with Sally Wager weighing in with an impressive 27 points.
As ever, cycling saw a number of world records fall, predominantly to the British team and in doing so claimed an impressive haul of nine golds, with Anthony Kappes, Aileen McGlynn, and Darren Kenny each achieving double glory.
But one of the headline grabbing stories surrounded three-time Paralympic Judo gold medallist Simon Jackson, who only took up cycling three weeks ago. Jackson scooped silver behind Kappes in the tandem in 1.04.982 minutes.
The 35-year-old said: “I’m not even in my third week of cycling yet so it is absolutely fantastic.
More success in the pool they dominated proceedings.

Youngster Sam Hynd, Paralympic champion Natalie Jones, and rising star Heather Frederiksen all broke world records in an action packed afternoon.
On track, Britain’s David Weir was also in impressive form, winning the 400m and 1500m to confirm his impressive pedigree ahead of Beijing.

Bowls: Alison Merrien beat world number one Val Smith in the final of the 2008 World Indoor Cup at the Warilla Bowls Club in Australia on Friday.

It completes a double for her, having won November's 2007 World Champion of Champions at the same venue.
Merrien said: "I'm on the top of the world - it's fantastic to do it once here but twice is even better."

I just caught the final few laps of the North West 200, won by an emotional Michael Dunlop. His father, motorcycle legend Robert Dunlop was killed in a high-speed crash during a practice lap for the races on Thursday. Knowing how focused you have to be in any competitive sport makes it all the more remarkable that he was able to complete the course in the 250cc race, let alone achieve victory. Illustrates once more the guts and determination you need to succeed at the top and why the world of sport arouses such passion in most of us.
