Darragh returns to the pool on Friday for the 200m Breaststroke and will be full of confidence following his 50m and 100m swims.
The Longford man has already been under the Olympic qualification time in the event when he set an Irish Record of 2:10.05 at the Irish Open in March.
Speaking after today’s semi-final he commented, "Looking at where I came in, I was around 20th, so to move up the rankings, I’m happy.
"Two good swims today, I’m really looking forward to the 200m (Breaststroke) in the next few days. I’m looking forward to giving it a shot and seeing where I’m at, especially on this stage, it’s a fast pool.’
