I swam the first two legs of this last year and it is an experience not to be missed. The desert landscape was unlike anything I'd seen before. It was amazing to be able to swim in water surrounded by cactus-y landscapes and sheer canyon walls. The swims were definitely challenging, but the atmosphere was always mellow and fun--you won't meet friendlier people anywhere. And getting to explain that I was traveling out to Arizona for open-water swimming was a bonus!
