Danielle Dorris captures silver at the World Para Swimming Championships

In early August, the native of Moncton, N.B., competed in a 25m pool and lowered world records in the 100 individual medley and twice in the 50 butterfly S7 at the Canadian short-course championships in Sherbrooke, Que.

At the time, Dorris said her success would boost her confidence looking ahead to a 50m pool at the long-course world championships in Singapore.

A three-time Paralympic medallist, Dorris was born with underdeveloped arms due to a condition called bilateral radial dysplasia.

At the 2016 Games in Rio, a 13-year-old Dorris was the youngest-ever Canadian swimmer to compete at the Paralympics.

Jibb, 18, entered the pool Wednesday having on Monday. The Bracebridge, Ont., native added the Canadian women's mark in the 100 butterfly S9 final on Tuesday.
