Well you should keep on skating through the summer whether "figure skating" is allowed or not - it will give you time to work on basic edges and stroking and edges and stroking.
By "figure skating" I'm guessing they mean jumps and spins - but there is a lot more to skating - I would work on turns and edges.
Oh I will be for sure! Gotta develop those muscles as well
