If they only swam up they would soon run out of sea!

:) I was assuming sort of an up-and-sideways kind of up, and maybe they sink down when they hit the top and go up-and-sideways again. Jellyfish just don't seem like the right-angles-to-the-surface sort of swimmers to me, but like I say, I have no experience with jellyfish, not even seeing them on nature shows.

As someone who has swam through jellyfish, they totally swim sideways.

which is usually exactly what they do. Go to Boston Harbor in the summer.
