* They are passively transported by the water currents. * They can swim with rhythmical contractions of the bell (muscles) that propel it with the force of the water pushed from inside the bell, sort of like jet propelling does with air jets, the action creates an equal and opposite reaction.

jelly fish moves its body to move in waterA jellyfish opens up its umbrella-like body wider than usual, and then shrinks it back to size. The water that was inside the umbrella-like body structure was squeezed out when the body structure shrank to normal size, so the aqua jet propelled the jellyfish a few feet. That is how a jellyfish moves.
