Never two early or two late. Your local YMCA and others will offer you low cost or no cost classes and will having you in the water and happy in no time. Good luck. References : I am a previous senior wsi and lifeguard in California and Floirda.
My father learned to swim when he was in his 20s from reading a book! (Yes, he was a nerd). He is now in his 60s and still swims 1000m everyday.
If he can learn to swim I’m sure you can too! References : Former Australian national swimmer and state age champion
Hey of course you can still learn to swim at 25. It will be a bit harder because the ‘fear factor’ will come into it, but be confident and enthuastic and youll be able to pick it up. Im a lifeguard and ive seen people as old as 60 learn to swim and now they come everyweek and do 50 lengths of the pool! so you will be fine. Id recommend you invest in a good swimsuit and a decent pair of goggles so you can put your head in the wwater as this makes swimming a lot easier!
Hope that helps References :

Of course you can still learn how to swim. It is a great idea to learn how to swim, no matter how old you are because it is a great form of cardio fitness and it is safe too. The Red Cross offers adult swimming lessons so check with your local pool to see if they offer this program. Good luck with swimming! References :
