This was tested on windows 10 and xbox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udKGVj9MyKg&feature=youtu.be Conditions: These have changed all you need is to be in swim mode, touching a ceiling above the water, and staying on the same y as you swim out of the water with blocks still above you. Under other conditions you may need to be looking up to an extent.
Also special thanks to error404.exe on discord for helping me confirm the bug
Edit: Double toad made a great video showing off other things this bug can do https://youtu.be/aIH1Ab_5VZI
Edit 2:i noticed in Silent wisperers video (6:28) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQhrPKIcjz8 He can look in different directions. Seems like depending on how you do the bug affects how it works a little

@Akko K Sorry for the misunderstanding. It sounds similar to the issue I made. You can see MCPE-46794.

@DrownedZombie it’s fine it’s actually my fault for making it sound so similar to the crawling mechanic

I've done some testing; see this video:
Exiting water while swimming will enable the swimming mode to continue if the vertical 2 block area (that the player will later stand in) is not water, lava, a plant, or air. If the area where the player is at should cause them to fall (as intended), looking down will do the job, but looking up again will cancel the effect. Continuously going down until the player could stand (water, lava, a plant, or air is filling an area 2 blocks vertically) will allow them to exit the swimming mode.
If the player leaves the game while in this state, joining again will teleport them to a valid Y position upwards (not downwards). Doing this will also put the player in a special sprinting state where particles do not appear, and jumping is slower instead of faster.

In 1.13.0.4, the player must have a solid ceiling above them blocking the standing transition. Leaving the game still has the same effects.

Can confirm for 1.12 windows 10/xbox one
I love this one:3

Confirmed for 1.13.0.5.
Swimming too close to the ceiling before exiting the water will cause the player to stand, even if in a situation where they shouldn't (a one-by-one area): MCPE-72648.

The reproduction methods of this issue is being blocked by MCPE-98271 in the betas, as it is impossible to enter 1x1 areas with an elytra or swimming outright.
If you are in a non-beta version of the game, you don't have to worry about the other ticket. If you are in a beta, MCPE-98271 is affecting you.

My version (1.17.0) affected too! Playing with my friends while in ravine. We goed onto waterfall, and my friend glitched onto blocks. When we stop on 3 and more height, you automaticly stand up.
How to reproduce:
Legend: X: Solid Block, O: Water, P: The place to reproduce.

No why this was my favorite bug in the game it could make a working zip line!😞
@DrownedZombie I can assure you this is not the same thing. I can see why you thought that though so i updated the title
