The 2012 Olympic Games in London roll right along into Wednesday, where they have plenty more swimming events on the docket. There will be four more gold medal competitions taking place on Wednesday, beginning in the afternoon. Of course, the telecast of those events won’t air until prime time on NBC wherever you may be located, so if you want to cheer on the U.S. swimmers, you will need to use your computer to stream the finals.

If you want to watch the swimming live, NBC LIve Extra has got you covered. Here are the four gold medal events taking place on Wednesday. All times are Eastern.

2:30 p.m. - Men’s 200m Breaststroke
3:12 p.m. - Women’s 200m Butterfly
3:20 p.m. - Men’s 100m Freestyle
4:04 p.m. - Women’s 4x200m Freestyle

Also taking place on Wednesday is the men’s 200m IM semifinal, which will feature Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte going head-to-head. That will also be streaming live online and will take place at 3:41 p.m. ET, between the men’s 100m freestyle and women’s 4x200m freestyle gold medal events.

The United States will be competing in all four medal events.
