Yes of course they do. If there's 2, they do synchronised aquabatics.

As a member of the US Naval Submarine Force, I can assure you that they do not do aquabatics.
Submarines are designed for a maximum list (tilting side-to-side) of 45 degrees and maximum angles (tilting up or down) of less than 60 degrees. They do not do barrel rolls.
Because a submarine is always operating, the crew is always on a cycle. Normally 1/3 of the crew is asleep at any given time. Certainly it would be difficult to sleep during such activities!
There are dozens of tanks containing various fluids, all of which would spill out into the surrounding spaces if turned upside down.
Although "stowage for sea" is a vital important seagoing activity, it is intended to counteract flying objects from heavy seas or steep angles.
That's not to say that submariners don't have fun. Because of the unique isolated environment, submariners are offered a much higher level of familiarity and informality than might be allowed on more traditional ships. Practical jokes are commonplace.

Ha ! I wouldn`t be surprised, the sub-mariner's must get very bored from time to time. The thought of them doing grace full swaying motions to swan lake, makes the mind boggle. Whatever they do, must I am sure be in a straight line, as a sub is hardly a contortionist / acrobatics vessel.!

Nuclear submarines are not that manoeuvrable.
Admirals cannot see submarines from their London clubs. Or from Portsmouth - the Subs are based in Scotland and Plymouth, you won't find many Admirals in either..

No, you don't screw around, otherwise people die. Take the sinking of the Japanese fishing ship in Hawaii by the USS Greenville...and they had Admirals on board...

They cant do aquabatics because they are too heavy and unwieldy

More than likely not. It would reek havoc on the crew and probably result in an immediate court-martial.
