Another three South African swimmers have qualified for finals at the FINA World Championships.

Cameron van der Burgh and Giulio Zorzi will both contest the 50-metres breaststroke final in Barcelona later today.

Chad le Clos is through to the final of the 200-metres butterfly.

His final is also scheduled for later on Wednesday.

Le Clos won his semi-final in Barcelona yesterday.

Van der Burgh, meanwhile, clocked the fastest time in the 50-metres breaststroke semi-finals. Van der Burgh ended second in the 100-metres breaststroke final on Monday.

He believes the 50-metres breaststroke is his better event at the moment.

Other South Africans on the Barcelona menu today are Michael Meyer, Jessica Ashleigh Cooper and Leith Shankland.

Le Clos, Van der Burgh and Zorzi are expected to swim their finals between 6pm and 7pm South African time tonight.
