Hi Nicole
A girl at my daughters rink started when she was eleven. Shes been skating 6 months & is already gold star. Find out if your local rink does a skate uk class as its the cheapest way to learn. Once you get the basics you may want to have some private lessons with a coach.
I started a couple months back & am badge 5 & I'm 35. So your never too old. Good luck

Your never too old to start, having had ago a couple of times when I was your age, I recently started having lessons at the age of 40. :)
Skate UK Level 4 - Passed (ages ago, not skated since).

Yeah me too - had lessons at 10 and 11 for two years or so then when my ice rink shut gave up as couldn't travel. Have just come back to it now at 26, definitely never too late! Go for it, the lessons will help you learn properly as if you try to pick it up yourself you may end up learning bad habits like I did :(
