Any info greatly appreciated.

Do a search on the forum, I seem to remember numerous threads on Charleston as that is one of our occasional vaca spots. I will let the locals chime in, but I think of that area as more of a great running and open water swim spot, just seems overly busy for cycling. Beautiful area, great beaches nearby, awesome restaurant scene. Have fun.

My experience being there during the eclipse...The ocean is super calm over at Sullivan's island and there is also a tri shop near there as well called Blue Sky Endurance

And biscuits... eat lots of biscuits!

Any outdoor pools?

Non really. I did some googling back when I was there and really the only option was the YMCA in downtown.

Back in the day they had active Tri club: https://charlestontriathlonclub.com/ Has some info.

thank you!

Charleston has a beautiful 50 meter pool downtown. It is a city pool, named MLK, and a day pass is available for (I think) $5. Not sure of its current schedule due to Covid. Nice group bike rides from the Trek store in Mt. Pleasant on Saturday mornings. There are some good bike routes available, albeit very flat! Enjoy your time visit!

Been years since I’ve been to Charleston, but Hyman’s was fun stop while touring.

Open water swim search for CHOWS (charleston open water swim) on Facebook. They have a pretty dedicated yet small group. Always welcoming in my experience. As pointed out trek group ride out of mount pleasant. You can also just find their routes on strava.
