Olympic competitions aren’t the only place where athletes hit the ice to test their curling skills. They also can do it at Florida Hospital Center Ice, at 3173 Cypress Ridge Blvd., in Wesley Chapel.
Those wanting to pick up the sport can take ‘Learn to Curl’ classes at the Center Ice venue. Equipment is provided for the four-week sessions held on Wednesday mornings throughout the year. There are also lessons available after league play on Saturday evenings. Curling is fun for people of all ages and ability levels, according to John Drysdale, who teaches people how to curl.

The Tampa Bay Curling Club, founded in 2017 by Bernie Skerkowski, is the largest curling club in the Southeast and currently boasts more than 140 active members.
