Mark H. read your earlier post; Marietta Times article, checking what the building code requires for pools
public pools, private pools, different requirements....
Is that a question?
IBC requires the pool to be accessible.
Fair housing requires access to the pool.
ADA does not apply unless the public is allowed in the pool.
IBC 1109.14.1 Facilities serving a single building. In Group R-2 and R-3 occupancies where recreational facilities are provided serving a single building containing Type A units or Type B units, 25 percent, but not less than one,
of each type of recreational facility shall be accessible. Every recreational facility of each type on a site shall be considered to determine the total number of each type that is required to be accessible.
1109.14.2 Facilities serving multiple buildings. In Group R-2 and R-3 occupancies on a single site where multiple buildings containing Type A units or Type B units are served by recreational facilities, 25 percent, but not less than one,
of each type of recreational facility serving each building shall be accessible. The total number of
each type of recreational facility that is required to be accessible shall be determined by considering every recreational facility of each type serving each building on the site.
FAIR HOUSING ACT DESIGN MANUAL
Other buildings and amenities in a housing development, such as laundry buildings and recreational facilities (clubhouses, swimming pools, spas, game rooms, and exercise rooms), will be covered by the ADA only if they are available for use by people other than residents and their guests. If such facilities are made available to the public only periodically, such as for a festival or seasonal event, they must comply with the ADA during the event.
