Rideau Skating Club is proud that so many adult skaters call us home. We have a growing community of adult skaters from those just learning to skate to those who compete at Canadian and ISU International adult competitions.

Adult skating is growing in popularity and Rideau Skating Club offers recreational, test and competitive opportunities. Adults participate in CanSkate, STARSkate programs as well as on synchronized skating teams. Adult championships currently provide opportunities to adult skaters to experience the challenge of a competition in a fun, social environment.

Teen/Adult Learn to Skate program information can be found under CanSkate.
