Anyone who can actually teach me how to survive in deep water (swim)

Question

Looking for someone who can actually teach me to be safe in deep water. I cannot swim, but I’m not looking for very basic shallow-water instruction about kicking and what not.

My main goal is to learn how to float, tread water, stay calm, recover if I fall into deep water, and get myself safely to the side/shore. Ideally, I’d like a confident instructor or experienced swimmer who can teach this practically.

Any recommendations around Blacksburg/Christiansburg?
