Hubert Leonard Spence (May 23, 1909 – November 10, 1947) was a swimmer from British Guiana (present-day Guyana) who competed for Bermuda in the 1936 Summer Olympics.
His father was Scottish and worked as a big game hunter and guide, while his mother was Indian (of indigenous American descent, or from India, both are possible in Guyana?).
The Spences would swim in the Demerara River, and six family members bore scars from piranha bites.
[1] Walter, the eldest brother, soon realized that he can not grow as a swimmer in Guiana, and immigrated to the United States in 1923.
In their team, Leonard specialized in breaststroke, and at some point held nearly all AAU titles and records from 100 yards to one mile.
