Yeah. It was awesome. It was only 2 credits, but I had also taken a 2 credit scuba course, so they counted together as a real course. I can't remember if we had a gym requirement for graduation or if I just did it for fun.

The ice skating was me and 3 other students being trained by the hockey coach on skates that he had sharpened before every class and on ice that had just been smoothed by the Zamboni. It was awesome to have the full sized rink for just the 5 of us.

As a kid, I had just skated on the frozen pond near our house. Ripply ice with reeds sticking through.

Edit: Maybe they were only 1 credit each. Can't remember. All I remember is that I needed to take two gym courses to make the credits worth anything.

Yeah, that's why i like the Wednesday morning class -only about half a dozen of us on fresh ice. Ooh that reminds me, i think my skates need sharpening...

I totally want to skate on a pond, not done it yet.... but I'd need a different pair of skates.

Never got into it, so I know nothing about it, why different skates for a pond?
