he phrase “offseason” has a fairly vague meaning these days. T In high school sports, it used to be whenever a certain sport was out of season. For example, the girls swimming season is in the fall, but a few Ithaca High varsity team members are staying very busy in the pool this summer. United Southern Tier Swimming Club, which is made up of swimmers from Ithaca, Owego, and Horseheads, has become an option to keep competitors active virtually all year long. Along with training the athletes, the club has a competitive meet schedule, which included their marquee trip to the 2018 AAU Junior Olympic Games in Des Moines, Iowa in late July.
