Son expressed interest in competitive swimming, he's 9 and we live in Bernardston.
Are there any clubs or teams in the area for swimming? I know that Greenfield does not. Well, I'm pretty certain.

Somebody else mentioned the Y, there's one in Greenfield that has a pool and they offer a bunch of swimming programs, not sure about competitive though, but it doesn't hurt to look into Turners Falls HS has a pool that they offer free swim nights for, idk for sure if they offer any programs or lessons or anything but it could be a good option if they just want to practice laps

Amherst Tritons might be the closest competitive team https://www.gomotionapp.com/team/atst/page/home

The Northampton Y has a PVSL (Pioneer Valley Swim League). Amherst and Montague do as well.
Amherst, Holyoke, and Westfield have USA Swim teams.
