I swim with the team, usually M, W, F mornings, sometimes other days/times. Let me know if you need more info.
I'd shoot Paul an email a month or so before you come to let him know you're interested and see what payment options they have. I'd bet there's other snowbirds who come here, I just don't know it.
There's pools closer to AJ, even in AJ, but I don't know of any masters teams out there. If you come to morning workout, it shouldn't be more than a 20 min drive, depending where in AJ you'll be. I always think of Idaho and the US 60, near where the fun part of the Apache trail begins.
Thanks
We have our two and a half months in Mexico which is already paid for, Then home for a month then we drive the motor home to Apache Junction Should be there Feb first, then see you at the pool.George, Tim is completely right and the Mesa program is great, right location, etc. If you want to check out some other pools (admittedly, none of them as nice as the Mesa pool), there are great Masters programs at Phoenix Swim Club (www.bestswimclub.org/SubTabGeneric.jsp and Sun Devil Masters (www.sundevilmasters.com at ASU and up in Scottsdale). Both Phoenix and Sun Devil will be a trek from Apache Junction, but they also both have mid-day workouts so if you find yourself in a different part of town, those give you great options.
Make sure you also check out the Arizona State / Southwest Zone meet (www.azlmsc.org/events.htm) as a tune-up meet for Nationals.
