Danielle Hill is targeting more personal bests in Paris after adding qualification for the 50m freestyle to the place she had already secured in the 100m backstroke at the Irish Open Swimming Championships this week.

The Larne swimmer recorded a time of 24.68 in the 50m free on Saturday that dipped under the Olympic mark of 24.70 and set a new Irish record. She had already set a new national best earlier in the day with 24.95 in the heats.
