Figure Skating
The Shearwater Skating Club offers excellent skating times (we run sessions 7 days per week) and prices for all aspects of Figure Skating and Learn To Skate. We have an excellent club atmosphere and we work well as a team. There are a number of coaches that work for the Shearwater Skating Club as well as a group of coaches from other clubs that join our sessions with their skaters.
This club is open to Military Members and Civilians alike. Our registration is usually in August, however, we take registration throughout the year.
