Bill, 

You're probably on the right track in thinking dragonflies.  They
have internal gills, that water is passed over by sucking in and then
expelling in a little jet.  This may have something to do with the
rapid movement you captured.  

If you get more interested in bugs think about picking up a seine to
collect specimens.  There is quite a variety available.  Mine is a
Riffler from Midstream, which I like a lot.
