Did Palestinians Once Have an Olympic-Sized Pool?

Andy Whitmore, an activist in Kansas City, had the following response to the Olympics:

"Last night's Olympic ceremonies included four or five Palestinians. Matt Lauer
commented that the Palestinians don't have an Olympic sized pool. I'm going to
find a way to send him the picture of a demolished children's pool in a
Palestinian village–paid for by  USAID and YMCA funds. [My husband] Doug went to a
demonstration while stationed in Palestine to save the playground part. I have pictures of the children, internationals, and Israeli peace people with the
kids. But the pool was long gone, rubble."

Anybody know where that pool was?
