Is it possible to learn how to swim and tread water by yourself through videos?

Hi all. Basically I’m a 16F who, embarrassingly, can’t swim. I had lessons as a child but nothing really stuck. I guess I’m able to freestyle from one side of the pool to another

Summer 2020 I signed up for lessons but obviously they got cancelled. The pool near me has now opened up but isn’t offering lessons.

I’m wondering if you guys think I would be able to learn through watching videos and then putting it to test in the pool by myself? Trial and error I guess. Or does that sound pretty dangerous?

Thanks a lot!
