The Wellingtonian, who has spent this year training and competing in Melbourne, needed to be sharp to make the 200m freestyle final. There was a strong array of fast freestylers jostling for a finals spot.
Clareburt finished third in his heat and his time of 1min 46.92s qualified him sixth for the final. The fastest qualifier was Englishman James Guy with 1min 45.69s.
Though he's had a heavy workload in Glasgow, Clareburt is still hopeful of adding to his two golds medals and one bronze.
He was upbeat after his race, saying: 'Job done, that’s all I needed this morning. Now recovery is key I'm looking forward to tonight.'.
