In 1928, at age 13 she won the "Silver Gate Channel Swim" with a time of 8m 30s. 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.

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.
