Mommy I want to be an Olympic Speed-skater

So after watching the Olympics, my 11-year-old has decided he wants to be a speed skater. Mind you, he's never been ice-skating and doesn't even know how and neither do I. Of course, I want my little boy to have a chance to pursue his interests because I rarely did as a child. (A personal issue: we'll discuss that another time)
So I'm off to sign him up for ice-skating lessons. I don't any black people that ice skate personally, outside of Debbie Thompson back in my day and Olympian Shani Davis, who I never heard of till last week. So if my baby wants to give it a try, I am right behind him. Any advice to get him started will be greatly appreciated.
