Are you just getting started? The Pond offers year-round U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills Program group classes for all ages and abilities including a class for parents and tots. Our SnowPlow Sam (Parent/Tot) class allows parents to learn to skate at the same time as their preschool age children.

The Pond Ice Arena experienced Learn to Skate coaches will teach you the basics in a safe and fun environment, and give you a solid foundation to build on if you decide to get more serious about the sport or just want to learn some skating skills to enjoy our recreational public skates.

Every weekly half-hour group lesson includes one half-hour of practice following class. Eight week group classes cost $125 (when registering by the deadline date or rate is $145) and rental skates are available for $3.
