WARM swimming pool in Mesa, Apache Junction, & Yuma

We will be in Arizona soon and we would like to find a RV park/resort with a nice WARM pool. My wife loves to swim but; if the water is 82 deg. or less she won't get in. At 84 she will get in "for a little while". At 86 she is starting to smile and enjoy the water. At 88 or above she is in mermaid heaven and will swim for hours. Do you know of a place that keeps there pool heated to 88 deg. or above?

    Most of the major parks in Mesa have heated pools (plus the whirlpools sitting next to the pools). Best bet if you want a specific temperature is to call around and ask what they are set at. I don't worry about it - they are comfortable to me.

    Ours here at Mesa Regal are kept toasty. 2 "large pools at 83 and 2 'leisure pools somewhat warmer! Comfy always. Our water exercise groups enjoy even with early morning temps. around or below 40!! Come on over!

    We're in Mesa and fortunately our pool is about 82F. I've been in parks where the pool is high 80s and people just stand in it for hours. They don't get out for pee breaks either.

    (It seems like more often than not, pools are so cold they just aren't usable.)

    Exactly!!! The parks/resorts are trying to attract snowbirds. Well, snowbirds are older people and they require warmer water to be comfortable. Our goal is to find a peaceful place to relax and spend a lot of time at the pool. We are pretty flexible about everything else.
