mid-stream
Between the banks
Mid-stream means in the middle of a river or current, away from both banks.
More often it appears figuratively for the middle of an ongoing process or activity: She interrupted me mid-stream.
To change horses mid-stream is to switch methods or leaders during a critical phase—generally inadvisable.
Also spelled midstream.
