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
