Tom Fannon finally made his first appearance in Singapore, progressing to the 50m Freestyle semi-final, on day six of the World Aquatics Championships. Fannon will join Ellie McCartney, who swims the 200m Breaststroke Final, in action in this afternoon’s finals session.

The National Centre Dublin swimmer, a semi-finalist at the Olympic Games, was fifth in his heat and advances fourteenth overall in 21.87 seconds, just outside his Irish Record 21.74 set during that semi-final in Paris.
