An unofficial PPA ppa:samoilov-lex/sway exists (compatible with Ubuntu 19.04+):

Run following commands in order to install Sway from the PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:samoilov-lex/sway
sudo apt update
sudo apt install sway

After installing, it should be possible to start Sway from the login screen.

For installing Sway on distributions (that don't have a Sway package available in their official repositories) see the wiki page on Unsupported Packages.

There is a Snap named Sway that can be installed from Snap Store :

sudo snap install sway --beta

Note: as of writing this answer (2019-Nov-27) the snap is marked experimental and seems in beta stage.
