Speed Skating Lessons at Macquarie Ice Rink
Whether you plan on becoming Australia's next Winter Olympic medallist or if you just want to learn a more efficient skating technique, come and join us for an exhilarating lesson in speed skating.
Learn to Speed Skate classes are held by the Local club - Sydney Speed Skating Club - and will run 6:00 - 6:45pm Friday nights from the 31st of January 2025. These sessions are run before the club training time so it’s a good opportunity to stay back and watch the club train.
Learn to Speed Skate Classes are available for beginners, though we would prefer you complete up to Aussie Skate 5 in the Macquarie Ice Rink’s Learn to Skate Program so you are comfortable with the basics of skating first.
After completing the Learn to Speed Skating classes participants will have the opportunity to join and participate in the club training sessions.
By entering the rink, you agree to abide by the Terms and Conditions set forth by the rink.
Requirements
Skates. Regular skates are available for hire at Macquarie Ice Rink, or you can bring your own hockey or figure skates with you to class. As your ability improves, you may want to upgrade to speed skates (long blade) which will help you to glide over the ice a lot quicker. Please inquire with the local club as they may have limited Speed Skates available for you to try.
Helmet
A long sleeved t-shirt and long pants
Gloves, knee pads and shin pads are recommended
