I've never heard of going up and down - usually I think in terms of dropping down until your chest is in the water and then scull to maintain position. Getting up is with a hip snap. If you do this, most of your weight is carried by the water and little force is required in the paddle and hence in your arms. If you're trying to keep your body out of the water, it is going to be stressful. I'd suggest simply not doing this.
