Corrected entry: If Annie was dropped off at the orphanage as a baby and they aren't supposed to have any fun and really don't have any toys or anything, where does she learn how to swim? This is during the depression era. I'm pretty sure these were no community pools. She jumps into Mr. Warbucks' pool the day after she arrives and starts doing a backstroke.

Correction: There isn't any indication that she'd only been at Warbucks' house for one day. Plus, Kate says to Annie at the beginning of the movie, "All you ever do is run away." Annie has run away from the orphanage multiple times, and is very street-smart. It's not at all unlikely that there was a lake she was familiar with that she taught herself to swim in over the years.
