The free skate levels are designed to give skaters a strong foundation on which to build up their skills. This is the point where the skater can chose whether to pursue a recreational or competitive approach to the sport of figure skating.

It is recommended that Free Skate Level skaters take a private or a semi-private lesson each week. The BCIA and the BCFSC provide Free Skate ice time for these lessons at an additional cost. Please ask Skating Director for a list of coaches.
