1. Poor Body Position
Your head or hips may be too high or too low.
If your head lifts to breathe or if your kick pushes your chest upward, it causes your body to seesaw—hips drop, chest rises, and vice versa.

2. Inconsistent Kick Timing
An unsteady or overly powerful kick can create upward and downward thrust rather than driving you forward.
If you’re “bicycle kicking” or not using a compact flutter kick, it adds vertical motion.

3. Pressing Down with the Hand
During the catch, if you press down on the water instead of pressing back, your upper body lifts.
This throws off balance and rhythm.

4. Core Not Engaged
A soft or loose core can’t hold a stable, horizontal line in the water.
You end up flopping or bouncing instead of gliding.

5. Breathing Mistakes
Lifting your head to breathe instead of rotating your body causes a spike in vertical motion.
You might also “pause” your stroke to breathe, which creates a stop-start rhythm that looks like bouncing
