I have a meeting in Mesa at 10:30. My flight out is not until 5:30. Using the "Places to swim" search on USMS, looks like there are a few mid day workouts in the area. Any suggestions?

Currently plan to arrive at Sky Harbor Airport around 10:30 on Wed., March 27. After collecting luggage and rental car, I expect an 11 a.m. departure from airport, with the day's (leisurely) destination the Grand Canyon. I'd enjoy a noon swim (need not be a full-bore workout) but have no idea where anything is in relation to aiport, only that Phoenix is bigger than I ever imagined.
Any suggestions?
The Kino pool in Mesa is just a few miles east of the airport. I did a noon workout there during my visit.

I seriously doubt you'd be out of the airport area until at least 11:30. All of the rental cars are at a facility about a mile west of the airport...you'll need to take a shuttle over there.
I was about to recommend the Wall Aquatic Center at NAU for swimming, but unfortunately it will be closed while you're here:

The Scottsdale-Eldorado pool is extremely close to the airport:

If you can make it to Mesa for a workout, that would be great too. I'm usually there in the morning.
If you're going to the Sedona area, the Hilton resort has a 25m outdoor lap pool. I know it was free for me staying there as a guest, and I'm pretty sure they have day rates. I know locals used it, but I can't find info about that on their website.
