Frustrated wanting to learn how to swim

Hello, I’m 17 right now and I really want to learn how to swim but I can’t sadly. I went to one swimming lesson in the summer back in 2019, but because of covid and stuff I haven’t been unable to go to the pool and continue. It’s been two years since I have been at the pool and I probably need to start all over and take a beginners course. I have a big fear of deep water, but I think if I learned how to swim I would be a bit more comfortable and confident in the water. Since last month I kept looking and looking for swimming lessons in my county parks and recreation, but NOTHING shows up. Today I looked at another county that is closed by and they had swimming lessons available, but all of them were full. Also, because I would be a non resident I would have to pay extra. All I did was sign up on the waitlist for their Adult Level 2 class, which their waitlist has 13 people and their class is already full since they are only taking 10 people so I most likely won’t get in. So I really wanted to learn how to swim this summer but I don’t have anyone around me to teach me and I also don’t want to constantly pay for lessons to improve my swimming. I just want to learn how to be comfortable in the water and swim thats all. My last option is to teach myself which I know I will struggle a lot with. Should go to swimming pools and ask if they offer swimming lessons? Sorry for this long post but I’m at a lost right now.
