I'm going to assume you are just confused by the different "events" and that there may be different ways to win because honestly... you win by being faster than everyone else. After all, it is a "race". Having said that, there are a lot of different "events" when it comes to swimming, each different based on the "stroke" and the distance you swim. But you win them all the same way, touching the wall before everyone else.
