My clowns move the same way and has been for the 4 years that I've had them. They tend to move eratically, especially around other clowns. I don't think you have a problem.

I would agree , looks like normal clown behavior to me. Maybe a little display or territorial presentation.

Looks pretty normal to me aswell and I have had 3 different types of clowns... If they start swimming like this then you have a problem:
