Norene E. Forbes (July 24, 1914 – June 15, 2004), later known by her married name Norene Lancucki, was an American competition swimmer.
In 1928, at age 13 she won the "Silver Gate Channel Swim" with a time of 8m 30s.[2] She retained the title the following year, covering the 650-yard paddle in the fastest time ever made in either the men's or women's races.[3]
She represented the United States at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Forbes finished sixth overall in the 400-meter freestyle, recording a time of 6:06.0 in the event final.[4]
