Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society

The latter organization was patterned after the Royal Humane Society; the original purpose of the club was to patrol outdoor skating areas around the city of Philadelphia, such as the Schuylkill River, in order to rescue skaters who had fallen through the ice.Club regulations still require members to carry a reel of stout twine for lifesaving purposes while skating outdoors.Notable skaters who have represented the club over the years include Dick Button, Scott Hamilton, and ice dance partners Kimberly Navarro and Brent Bommentre.Boots and Blades is a non-qualifying competition for skaters at the Snowplow Sam to Preliminary test levels; it also includes solo dance and showcase events.The US Figure Skating Eastern Adult Sectional championships were held at PSC&HS in March 2020.
