In the UK if your school doesn't take you swimming and your parents can't swim and are too poor to pay for private swimming lessons it's unlikely you will learn to swim.
Adult swim classes are there but it takes courage to join one, you also have to find the time and the money to attend them. If you can't swim it's probably not your fault.
I had to teach a young man to swim in the last few weeks before he joined the army. The army teach everyone to swim from scratch but it's best not to be afraid of the water. You fail basic training if you still can't swim.
