Bob Herbert Bonte (1 August 1929 – 3 September 1988) was a Dutch breaststroke swimmer. He competed at the 1948 Olympics in the 200 m event and finished in eighth place.[1] Later that year he set world records in the 400 m and 500 m distances,[2] which became obsolete a few months later. Between 1947 and 1951 Bonte set four national records and won three national titles in the 200 m breaststroke.[2] Bonte was a hairdresser, and ran his own hair salon.[3]
