Well, it really depends. Most people start competing in Free Style, but if you're pretty good, your coach will decide. To get to free style, it usually takes a couple of years, or a few months if you're really good. (the levels are pre-alpha, alpha, beta, gama, delta, then comes Free Style; free style goes all the way up to Free Style 10.)

How did figure skating start?
While people have been ice skating for centuries, figure skating in its current form originated in the mid-19th century by Englishman Robert Jones, the first known account of figure skating. Competitions were then held in the "English style" of skating, which was stiff and formal and bears little resemblance to modern figure skating. American skater Jackson Haines considered the "father of modern figure skating", introduced a new style of skating in the mid-1860s. This style, which incorporated free and expressive techniques, became known as the "international style." Although popular in Europe, Haines' style of skating was not widely adopted in the United States until long after his death.
