I am more of a body surfer... or, perhaps more extensively, a triathlete. When I contemplate jumping in a pool (or open water, for that matter), there is always a period of adjustment. A lap or hundred yards where my body is growing accustomed to the temperature, when my joints are warming up and when my cardiovascular system is adjusting to a faster pace of activity.
As a runner, I don't recall feeling the proverbial second wind. But as a swimmer, almost every time I get in the water, a short while after beginning my work-out, I feel my body settle in, find a groove... when suddenly, the currents are at my back and I am moving efficiently, comfortably, through the water. Not a second wind... call it "zephyr two."
