Hi everyone!

I'm thinking about getting into ice skating. I've been an athlete (various sports) for years. I'm currently 21 years old and competing in Acrobatics and Tumbling on the collegiate level. I am looking to start skating because it seems to be something I can continue in for the next few years and even compete! (I love competing)

So I have a few questions!

1. I assume I should start with group lessons, when should I move to private?

2. When should I get my own skates? What kind?

3. What does a typical timeline look like? I would love to start jumps, but obviously doing that immediately isn't realistic

Thank you all so much!
