Simhallsbadet, Malmö, Sports hall and water park in Malmö, Sweden

Simhallsbadet is a swimming complex on Regementsgatan in Malmö, made up of a two-storey red-brick block with blue-framed windows and a taller block clad in grey metal panels. A sign reading "SIMHALLS-BADET" hangs above glazed entrance doors reached by wide steps. Inside are a 25-metre and a 50-metre pool; the water park section closed in 2015.

The facility opened in March 1956 with a 25-meter pool and added a 50-meter pool in 1977. That second pool turned the venue into a place capable of hosting international swimming competitions.

The name Aq-va-kul, used from 1988 to 2015, is a pun on the Latin aqua and the Swedish phrase "Ack, vad kul" ("Oh, how fun"). The wordplay was dropped when the venue reverted to Simhallsbadet in 2015, the name it had carried since opening in 1956.

The facility is at Regementsgatan 24 in Västra innerstaden and is open to the public on weekdays that are not public holidays; otherwise it serves clubs and schools. It is set to close in 2029, when a new swimming complex is to replace it.

In January 1997, a European record in the men's 800-meter freestyle was set in the 25-meter pool during a FINA World Cup event. It is unusual for a record of that level to be set in a shorter pool rather than a standard 50-meter one.
