Thanks Sarah,
Quite a lot of these long-'tailed' nudibranchs can swim by this vigorous lateral movement of the body - simultaneously bending the head and tail to one side, then to the other. Not a very directed way of swimming but a good way to move away from somewhere quickly
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
