People don't swim at pool parties; at most, they'll bob around in the water and maybe, MAYBE tread water for a few seconds.

Just go to a public pool and get in; start at the shallow end and walk towards the deep end. When you can't stand up, calmy move your arms and legs around a bit. You'll find that the simple motion of doing this will keep you afloat.

It's not that hard, OP. You can do eet.

Swimming is easy, but more than likely you'll panic because you think you'll drown. Stay in the shallows and don't go deeper than chest height

why do people that can't swim think this way?
honestly,
U won't even drown if you're not actively trying to drown yourself.
Just don't move and you will float up automatically

Can't you get a friend to each you before the pool party? Sure they will understand.

OP nobody gives a shit. This is such a non issue. Simply say you don't know how to swim. Hell, your friends will probably teach you.

My best friend can't swim. Dude still wears life jackets at 20 when we go out on the boat. Nobody has ever given two fucks. Seriously.
