Glenn Sharp Hummer (February 18, 1905 – November 3, 1992), also spelled Glen Hummer, was an American swimming coach best known for coaching the Huntington YMCA swim team in Southern Indiana from 1933 to 1977. In his forty-year career, his Huntington teams won the YMCA National Championship nine times and took nine runner-up finishes. Part of a legacy in the swimming community, Hummer trained and mentored Hall of Fame Coach George Haines as a young swimmer at the Huntington YMCA in the late 1930s–40s. Hummer, who served on the 1972 Munich Olympic staff, trained two Olympic medalists at the Huntington Y, 1964 Tokyo Silver Medalist Gary Dilley, and 1976 Montreal gold medalist Matt Vogel.
