number of showers for health club

**Rick** & **steveray**, ...thanks for the input.


Both of your interpretations are also the way that I am thinking,
but I read Post # 5 [ in this thread ] from **Mark Handler**,

and I interpreted his remarks to mean "all" Showers need
to be Accessibly compliant.......I even mentioned "each" shower
must be compliant in Post # 6, but presently, I cannot locate a
Code or Standard that "requires" Accessibility compliance for
each Shower Compartment........D`OH !

I believe it would be similar to a row of toilet stalls, not all toilet stalls have to meet ADA, but at least one should. Same as a shower room, one should be ADA compliant IMO based off of 1109.2 IMO.
 
So, it seems then to come down to if you provide lockers (how many?), then use at a minimum 5 -10%, 50% being men and 50% women or 100% gender neutral. A minimum of 1 or 5% to be accessible. Check a few country clubs or swim clubs in the area for comparisons.
