okay, one more question. is it only in the newsletters that you really find out how hard this race is? or during the entry process, or anytime pre-entry, do you think it's obvious enough how nonstandard and hard and weird and cold this swim is?


My recollection is consistent with tgarson.

Not sure if anyone has an exact copy of the lottery registration form, but I am pretty sure there is mention of the race's difficulty in the form itself, and positive that it requests you to provide race results from recent races that indicate that you are qualified to participate.


I recall that the lottery application requires each participant to acknowledge the difficulty of the swim. I remember listing prior race results and making a written statement regarding why I was capable of completing the swim.

There were also at least four waivers, each color coded with multiple pages specifying the risks of participating.
