Simhallsbadet is a swimming venue in Helsingborg. It hosts a 25 m swimming pool, another smaller pool and a sauna.

The building was designed by the Swedish architect Mogens Mogensen and completed in 1941. [1] Mogensen had presented the plans in 1936; it was built between 1939 and 1941. [1] Simhallsbadet was built as part of a project to address sanitation problems in south Helsingborg. [1] The building is built in brown Helsingborg brick. The entrance part is built in a functionalistic style, while the pool section has a vaulted copper roof and a glass facade facing the street Carl Krooks gata.

The building was renovated in 2001. [2]
