Swamp City’s learn-to-skate sessions are back for summer.
Starting on Monday, November 6, Swamp City Roller Derby will be running six weeks of learn-to-skate sessions. Swamp City Roller Derby chair Florentine van Noppen says the lessons are suitable for beginners.
“New skaters will be coached by our wonderful coaching crew, and will start with getting each skater up and rolling and stopping - with a focus on safety and fun. Once you’re up and skating, we can work with each skater to build a kete of skills to take to Memorial Park, the river pathway or the skate park. Roller skating is a great way to get and stay fit.”
