All the air in the world pushed down on the bathwater. The bathwater pushes back up at the air. If you put soap in the water, it makes the bathwater push up a wee bit less. When it does this, it also makes it easier for bubbles to form on the water and hold together. If you slosh the water without soap, normally no bubbles appear. The soap in bubblebath is good at making this happen.
The problem comes with bars of soap. I think normally would be good at making lots of bubbles, but when they are put in water they release a special ingredient (calcium I think) and it makes bubble making harder. This is because people used to complain about all the soapy suds from baths clogging up rivers and upsetting the ducks.
