I think super relays are a great idea/ alternative for masters swimming. In college a coach can recruit really great swimmers and entice them to come swim for them and thus form great relays with these recruited, bribed swimmers. Masters' swimming has no recruiting power and your certainly not going to move across the country to go swim for a particular masters team when at this point in most of our lives we've got other priorities. So why not let people swim for teams that they can't actually practice with because of location issues, in order to form great relays and teams. And if in doing that you reunite old teammates and set new records and have fun, who cares?!
Good Luck Arizona team!
