| | This glitch is when a jackal (or anything that's killable, but jackals get it more often) is killed by a grenade explosion and their body gets stuck between two objects like [[The Covenant|Covenant]] boxes. |

| '''Air Swimming''' is a phenomenon that happens in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''
| | A Glitch happens where the body is too big to fit in between and so the body hovers in the air between the two objects and looks like it's trying to swim. |

| This phenomenon occurs when an enemy is killed by a [[grenade]] explosion and their body gets stuck between two terrain objects. The ''Halo'' game engine necessitates that every in-game object have its own 'box' of dedicated space. This 'box' is usually what the player runs into, instead of the object itself. When a lifeless body is too large to fit in between the boxes of two objects, it ends up hovering above them, looking as though it were trying to swim through the air. The event occurs most commonly with [[Kig-yar|Jackals]].

| In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', when bodies are propelled by explosions, they will sometimes appear to be "frozen" if they hit an object in mid-flight; this can also make them appear to be swimming. On a related note, when a Jackal or a [[Unggoy|Grunt]] is killed by an explosion, its corpse may appear "wedged" within a metallic structure, floating above the floor.
