How do you determine what to get rid of?

Swimming, for example, is made of of varied distances to account for the fact that there are fast swimmers and there are endurance swimmers, two entirely different athletes. And then divided by discipline: free/breast/fly/back. Is fly more swimming than breast stroke?
