Discover SkateFAST – Learn to Speed Skate at Ice Zoo!

Ready to take your skating to the next level? Welcome to SkateFAST, Australia’s official national learn to speed skate program, now launching at Ice Zoo as part of the Ice Zoo Skate Academy.

Designed for skaters who are ready to move beyond basic skating skills, SkateFAST introduces the exciting world of short track speed skating in a fun, safe and supportive environment. If your child has completed Aussie Skate Level 2, they can jump straight into SkateFAST Level 3 and begin their speed skating journey!

Why SkateFAST?

Experience the Thrill of Speed

Short track speed skating is fast, exciting and action-packed. Skaters learn how to accelerate, corner, glide efficiently and develop the skills used in one of the most thrilling Winter Olympic sports.

Build Confidence, Fitness and Coordination

SkateFAST helps skaters develop balance, agility, coordination, strength and endurance, all while having fun on the ice. It’s a fantastic way to stay active and build physical literacy through sport.

Learn the Real Skills of Speed Skating

Starting from Level 3: Introduction to Speed Skating, skaters will learn speed skating starts, arm swing, track patterns, basic racing rules and speed skating technique in a nationally aligned progressive curriculum.

Progress Through a National Pathway

SkateFAST is part of Australian Ice Racing’s official development pathway, with progressive levels that take skaters from learning speed skating fundamentals through to club-ready racing skills.

Join a Fun and Supportive Community

SkateFAST is built around fun, confidence and positive participation. Whether your child dreams of racing or simply loves being active on the ice, there’s a place for them in speed skating.
