GETTING AUTOGRAPHS FROM PRO'S

When trying to get an Autograph of one of the Pro's take into consideration, the emotional and psychological factor.

While they are obliged to keep a positive and professional image at events, don't forget that they are human too.

Try not to rush up to them before their heat in the water, they have mentally hyped themselves up and are focusing on the task ahead. Getting a bit of paper, book, magazine or some ones underpants thrust into your face to get autographed before a heat, can be somewhat of a distraction, especially if the underpants aren't clean.

Try not to rush up to them after their heat, chances are they might have just got knocked out and are pretty pissed off, the last thing they need is for someone to thrust a bit of paper, book, magazine or some ones underpants into their face to get autographed after just bombing out in their heat, especially if the underpants aren't clean.

There will be heaps of opportunities for you to get Autographs and maybe even a photo with your favourite pro, use a bit of tact and remember, like you, they are human too!
