About SWC Academy

Founded in 2016, SWC Academy began with a passion for teaching and a focus on toddlers taking their first steps on the ice. Over the past ten years, we’ve grown into an academy welcoming skaters of all ages —including our oldest skater at 76 years young!— and abilities, including our Diverse Abilities Program for children with special needs. Our commitment to individualized instruction, confidence-building, and a supportive learning environment has made us a trusted name in private skating education.
