Registration for the 2023 Swim the Suck opens tomorrow at 12 noon ET. http://www.swimthesuck.org/register

I did this last year and had a blast, but I don't know anyone doing it this year, so I'm on the fence about whether to sign up again.

Are any of you planning to register? I need peer pressure to do it.

    Thank you @sarahcassidy! I did it! I click the orange button! I'm in for 2023!
    Woo Hoo.. Now I just have to maintain. This has been on my bucket list for awhile.

    Any recommendation on places to stay? Or areas I should focus on trying to stay?

    Plus can I just uber/lyft my way around or do I need a car?

    Woohoo! I sent you a message. Last year was my first time at Swim the Suck. I stayed at the Holiday Inn in downtown Chattanooga and liked it but I don't think I saw other swimmers staying there? Downtown is great for walking instead of driving, and the pre-race dinner was there which made it convenient. I might try to stay downtown again but haven't decided yet. I'd like to know what hotel(s) other swimmers are staying at.

    As for a car, it depends what airport you fly into. Chattanooga was SO expensive to fly into from Las Vegas so I ended up flying into Knoxville and splitting a rental car with another MSF swimmer. I just set up flight alerts for Chattanooga and nearby airports including Atlanta, Nashville, Knoxville, Huntsville, and Birmingham. Prices seem higher than they were last year so I'll wait to book.

    A rental car would make getting to the race location easier since it's in the woods outside the city, and I have no idea how difficult it would be to get an Uber/Lyft out there on race morning so I hope others weigh in. I have wondered about getting a ride from other swimmers. If I fly into another city I'll rent a car and am more than happy to give rides so I can meet more MSF swimmers.
