Anne Kindel Warner (born January 6, 1945), also known by her married name Anne Cribbs, is a retired American breaststroke swimmer who won a gold medal over 200 m at the 1959 Pan American Games. She placed sixth in this event at the 1960 Olympics, and also swam for the gold medal-winning U.S. team in the qualifying heats of the 4×100-meter medley relay.[1] She did not receive a medal because only those relay swimmers who competed in the event final were medal-eligible under the 1960 Olympic rules.

In 1996 Anne was a co-founder of the American Basketball League, often abbreviated to the ABL. It was the first independent professional basketball league for women in the United States.[2]

In November 2015, Warner received the Athletes in Excellence Award from The Foundation for Global Sports Development, in recognition of her community service efforts and work with youth.[3]
