About Us

Welcome to Rideau Lakes Skating Club! We are a sanctioned member of Skate Canada. We provide professional skating instruction for the members of the community and surrounding area. Our environment is fun, friendly, welcoming, and safe, nurturing skaters’ passion for the sport.

The Rideau Lakes Figure Skating Club is a long-standing institution in Smiths Falls with over 60 years of history. We have produced many high-level figure skaters including Olympian Jeff Langdon and have been the starting point for several hockey players who advanced to the NHL, OHL, University, and Junior A hockey.

We are a small but dedicated club of approximately 100 members, sanctioned by Skate Canada and operating under the Eastern Ontario Section. Our mission is to provide skating programs for skaters aged three and up, whether for fun, fitness, or achievement.

Rideau Lakes Skating Club offers a variety of programs catering to different ages and skill levels — from PreCanSkate and CanSkate for beginners, to STARSkate for advanced figure skating instruction.

All programs are led by professional coaches certified through Skate Canada’s National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP). Our season runs from early September through the end of March, culminating in an exciting year-end showcase.

We warmly welcome new members and guest skaters.
