The Aquatic Center is located at the Muntinlupa Sports Complex in Barangay Tunasan and has a seating capacity of up to 1,200.

“Like all parents, I also want a bright future for our children. Besides the benefits in sports, it will be a big help to the health of our residents. You do not need to go to Marikina or Biñan to avail of a facility like our Aquatic Center,” said Fresnedi.

The mayor said the funding for the construction of the Aquatic Center was not sourced through a loan. The city government allotted funds to build the facility, he said.
