About This Activity
Description
The Learn to Speed Skate program teaches students progressively more difficult moves through six levels of skating. Prerequisites for taking the class include knowing how to get up after falling down, marching forward, stopping, swizzles, and two-foot glide. Students are evaluated at the first class to gauge their skill/ability level and are placed in another speed skating class if their skill level is applicable. Speed skate rental is available for purchase at the facility, or participants can bring their own hockey or figure skates. Lessons take place on the 400m Oval.Students should plan to arrive by 5:45pm on the first day of class to get fitted for speed skates. 20 minutes of exclusive practice time follows each lesson.
