North Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club

March Past was contested at the first Surf Carnival in 1920. Although we no longer use belt and reel for rescues in surf, March Past has become a colourful Grand Parade event which builds team and club camaraderie. Twelve team members march in formation carrying the club flag, belt and reel. The judges deduct marks for discrepancies from perfect formation, appearance and marching style. At North Cottesloe, this event is best suited to members who want to compete at carnivals and are not interested, or don’t have time for training in other surf sports.
