Warwick Figure Skaters
Warwick Figure Skaters was formed as a skating club in 1970. Two years
later, it became a member of United States Figure Skating, the national
governing body for the sport of figure skating. Warwick Figure Skaters
started with only 3 hours of ice time per week and a handful of members.
Today there are over 350 members registered with our club, encompassing
some 40 hours of ice time.
Warwick Figure Skaters (WFS) is a non-profit organization that serves
skaters, parents and skating-lovers from age 3 through adult, in our Basic
Skills Learn-to-Skate program all the way through advanced programs of
instruction and our nationally-ranked synchronized skating teams.
Lessons are offered year-round during 3 different ice sessions at two local
Warwick municipal rinks -- Thayer Memorial Arena and Warburton Arena.
We offer instruction in Basic Skills, moves in the field, freestyle, ice dancing
and synchronized team skating as well as off-ice conditioning classes.
