I once swam in a pond where the water was near freezing, in winter. I did not feel particularly happy or unhappy after it - it was more like "check the box - I did this on a dare (just challenging myself) and I won't do it again but I am glad I did it once".
But many people do feel euphoric after such swimming, so I do not see anything unusual in your response.
