Well said. Swimming is a very good example, I thought I was in pretty good shape and could swim relatively well since I went scuba diving pretty regularly and was always very comfortable in the water and still run and bike for exercise.
Then I jumped into a pool and tried to do a "light beginner swimming workout", ~1200 meters (3/4 mile) for an alternate exercise to running and biking. (non-stop various strokes). I was sucking water ready to drown at ~450 meters. I am sure there are others here that have experienced the same.
I found my technique sucked and I was a flailing O2 robbing non-swimmer. A couple of researches on technique later and many hours in the pool solved that eventually.
