Olympic champion Rebecca Addlington could only manage fourth place.
"It was so tough out there," Jackson said. "All the girls just went out so hard and I found it so hard to keep up.
"Me and Rebecca have had a tough week. It has taken it out of us but we went out there and gave it our best and should be proud of how we did."
