Davison was one place back in the overall standings, claiming fifth in heat three at 1:01.14.
Lottie Cullen was unlucky to miss out on qualification, clocking a qualification time by placing sixth in her heat at 1:01.17, but not advancing due to the rule which limits a country to advancing only two swimmers from the preliminary heats.
Daniel Wiffen safely progressed to the final of the men’s 1500m freestyle heats, finishing heat two second at 14:52.29.
There was also disappointment for Irish swimmers in the men’s 50m breaststroke heats.
