| Check out these great ideas for skating on a frozen lake, river or pond: | ||
 Before you step onto the ice, think first and check it out. | ||
| Ask a parent or other adult to make sure the ice is smooth and thick enough for you to skate on. | ||
| Do not skate near open water on a frozen lake. | ||
| Be alert. Use your head! If you can see water, that means you're on thin ice or near a cracked surface. | ||
| Go with the flow. | ||
| No, not the flow of the water. We're talking about the flow of the crowd. Skate in the same direction and speed as everyone else. If you can't skate as fast - or maybe you just don't want to - skate near the side | ||
| Wear the gear. | ||
| Put on that hockey helmet. You'll look cool and feel warm. Your skull will thank you for it. Find out more about gearing up by clicking here. | ||
