wear helmets (bike or hockey) . For all classes, please
allow at least 15 minutes to put on your child's skates.
A basic quality skate is highly recommended! We provide the rink "rental skates" free of charge for the lessons. Basic 4 and above are recommended to have their own skates. The SWFSC has huge supply of high quality used skates at a minimal cost. Please check with Mrs Sue Cook
