There shouldn't be anything above the bubble except for your line. I prefer to attach a small split shot below the bubble and then tie the leader directly to the line below the split shot. I have found that adding a swivel will sometimes cause my leader to tangle more. You can get a fly to stay near the surface by leaving enough air in the bubble to cause it to barely float, or you can cause your fly to sink more by not leaving any air in the bubble.
