Best Masters Swim?

Ex swimmer, not college level or anything but solid. Looking to get back in the pool, meet people, where the coach has good vibes and doesn't do boring traditional stuff like 10 X 100s but the workout has some rigor (~2000-3000 yards, get the heart rate up a bit) but isn't impossible. Outdoor pool is preferable (lol with my demands).

So far I've seen Rice, JCC Houston, Dads Club…any groups you all recommend? I get the whole idea of what's closest is best, but I live west side of the loop and commute to West Houston so I'm sure several options work for me.
