How do I book my private inline skating lessons?

Phone us on: 07917 400 200, email or book online.

What do I need to bring to my inline skating lessons?

Skates, obviously! We teach on inline skates which have four wheels in a row and a heel-brake. We do not teach on Rollerskates or quadskates which have four wheels at the corners and a toe stopper.

Here’s some good advice for buying inline skates.

Protective padding: Wrist-guards, knee-pads are mandatory. Helmet and elbows recommended. These will come with hired inline skates so don’t worry.

A bottle of water. London is always hot and sunny so hydration is important.

What times do you teach?

We work like galley slaves from dawn till dusk, week days and weekends. Please book in advance for weekends and summer group skating courses as they get booked up.

Where do we meet?

We are based in London and teach inline skating on: Serpentine Road (Nearest tube Hyde Park Corner) Kensington Gardens (Nearest tube Kensington High St) Albert Memorial (Nearest tube Gloucester Road) All these venues are in Hyde Park.

What if it looks like rain?

We will ask for a mobile number when you book your inline skating lesson and will call at least an hour before to confirm. Lessons will generally go ahead unless it it wet on the ground.

How many inline skating lessons will I need?

Well it all depends on lots of things. Some people get it quickly and some people don’t. Some people just want to come out and have slow paced fun on a Sunday afternoon and some people want to do a street-skate as soon as possible. On average it takes about and hour and a half of instruction to get to grips with moving forward with a bit of speed, stopping tentatively and turning corners slowly. That is enough for some people. On average after four or five lessons you will have a good level of ability, a dramatic rise is confidence and your speed and technique will have really improved. Just as with learning a musical instrument or there is always something left to learn but that’s the fun! The most important thing to remember is that skating is fun, it is not a work deadline!

Do I need to practice between my inline skating lessons?

YES YES YES!!! That way you can say to your instructor, ” Been there, done that! now teach me something else.”

Will I fall?

The first thing you do with a SkatesCool instructor when you are an absolute beginner inline skater is fall over on the grass. It lets you know that falling is okay and that the pads work! As you get better you will fall less frequently. Even SkatesCool Instructors fall over occasionally.

N.B. Please be at least 15 minutes early for your inline skating lesson so you can get your skates and pads on before your instructor rolls up to teach you. We will have another skating lesson booked after yours and need to be on time. You may not get a full hour if you are late. Please try to phone us if you are unavoidably detained and we can make a plan B.

SkatesCool instructors are here for you now! We are friendly and don’t bite too hard. Grrr.
SkatesCool instructors hold an ICP qualification, public liability insurance and are CRB approved.
