NC-2009 WEp1: Water Use Reduction—20% Reduction
We are applying LEED-NC for a residential clubhouse, which includes swimming pools, sports facilities, gym room etc. Showers are provided for users for cleaning after sports.
In water use calculation, we shall consider the building users as "Visitors". However, according to LEED Reference Guide 2009, it is assumed that visitors do not use shower. In our case, the visitors will definitely use the showers. How can we account for it?

Can you explain the 12-second duration for metering faucets?
Can I use a nonpotable water source to contribute to WEp1 compliance?
We are having trouble finding EPAct-compliant fixtures. Is that a problem?
Where can I find a clear meaning of "public" and "private" as relevant to lavatory faucets?
Are shower duration controls an acceptable water-saving strategy?
Can I include process water savings in order to earn an Exemplary Performance point?

I think you can accommodate this in the LEED Online form by entering a user group and fixture group that meet your needs. You may have to provide a narrative explaining how you went about calculating it.
