Simhallsbadet, Malmö

Simhallsbadet is a sports hall and water park in Malmö with multiple swimming pools, including a 25-meter pool and a 50-meter pool designed for training and competitive events. The facility offers specialized spaces and equipment for various swimming activities.

The facility opened in March 1956 with a 25-meter pool and expanded in 1977 by adding a 50-meter pool. This expansion made it a venue capable of hosting larger swimming competitions.

The facility carried the name Aq-va-kul from 1988 to 2015, a combination of Latin and Swedish terms meant to express the joy of water activities. This reflected how the place served as a center for water-based experiences.

The location is easily accessible by local buses and sits centrally in Malmö. Visitors should expect busy periods when swimming clubs hold their training sessions.

In January 1997, a European record for men's 800-meter freestyle swimming was set in the 25-meter pool during a FINA World Cup event. This achievement reflects the facility's reputation as an international competition venue.
