At the 2009 Mediterranean Games in Pescara , Italy , she won her first international medals with three silver medals. In 2010 she was European short course champion over 200 m back in Eindhoven . She took part in the 2012 Olympic Games in London , but did not reach the final run. In December 2012 she won the bronze medal at the short course world championships in Istanbul over 200 m back.

With her winning time she broke the oldest Spanish record at the time, which Nina Schiwanewskaja had held since 2000. A year later at the World Championships in Kazan , Da Rocha did not get over 100 m back beyond the heat and was eliminated over 200 m back in the semi-finals.
