"Plans to hold an international life-saving competition in Cornwall have been suspended because of lack of funds to build a 50m (164ft) swimming pool.
Surf Life Saving Great Britain (SLSGB) said it had been unable to raise £750,000 to install the Olympic-size pool needed to run Rescue 2010.
The event had been scheduled to take place in Newquay in June next year.
SLSGB said a scaled-down event may still take place in Newquay. A decision is expected at the end of this month."
