How do you do the swimming glitch

I have watched and tied over and over.
What's the easiest way to achieve the swimming glitch?

you can do it different ways in different levels. i feel really tired right now, like, i should be asleep right now, and i don't want to explain all of them in one go, especially since you apparently watched them before.

give me a level where you want to do the glitch and i'll see what we can do here. remember obviously the level has to have water.

I was trying to do it on Sunrise Springs.

It is quite harder in Sunrise spring home than in other levels as I know. Do you mean the one where you glide 'under' the water and use headbash to do the swim in the air? <- you need good timing here...

you go to the superfly powerup, and you hit X UP X UP X UP X UP etc, that takes a lot of practice/skill in itself, if you did it right you should be out farther than you can usually go, and you should be able to land/hover onto a tree outside. from there you glide out to the edge of that wall next to the water.

once you've landed there, you glide until you're a bit under the water, and do a headbash. that takes a lot of good timing, like Blako said.

Thanks.

How do you do it any other levels?

It's always different depending on the level. Some levels don't have water in so it's impossible to perform, and even if you hack water into level the game would crash because Spyro's swimming animations would also not exist in that level.

in the levels where you start out in water, you have to have that thing in the Atlas where you pick a level and hit Square. also vibration needs to be turned on.

so what you do is you go to some level, let's say Fireworks Factory, that has lava, and fall into the lava. just when you're about to hit it for the last time, hit START. if you did it right, you should have felt vibration. if not, just try again. after that, hit Exit Level to go to Evening Lake, or go to the Atlas to go to places like... oh, that level in Sunrise Spring... is it "Seashell Shore"?

or you can go to places like Dino Mines where you go through that black portal, and when you come out you're underwater. you can swim in the air then, too.

there are also some places where you can go outside the level and just headbash some shallow water, like in Sunrise Spring. there are probably YouTube videos explaining all of those.

Dino Mines is an interesting one, probably the easiest to perform the swim-in-the-air-glitch; near the end of the level when you are about to leave the underwater section, if you go towards the wall where you jump out and Zoe zaps you, if instead you swim down into the water, Zoe will zap you while you are underwater. Then, simply kill yourself without being zapped again and you will return to Zoe, swimming in the air.

Isn't it possible to fly directly on the wall? (on the right corner) I don't know if it is easier, but I always do it this way...
