Free style is the fastest stroke by far.
Side stroke is the style you can do the longest.
Depending on your fitness level, you have decide which is best.
Since the past is taken in a specific order, and right now i cannot remember where te swim is, in the test.
You probably need to give yourself some practice past, and see which one works better for you to get the highest overall score.
While still meeting the minimum in each event.
IE: no use doing free style to improve your swim time, if it tires your arms out so much you trash the push ups and pull ups.

Being a former swimmer myself, you will literally die trying to swim a 500 breaststroke. It's by far the most physically demanding stroke out of all of them. While I'm biased towards it, it works more muscles at once than any other stroke. If you're going for a fast time, you will tire extremely quick.
Freestyle is by far the fastest for long distance. You don't need perfect technique for it, while in breaststroke you do.
Edit: I don't even know what the PAST is, I imagine it's some sort of swim qual. But in my water polo days we'd swim around 1000-1500 yards a night, then get out of the pool for 120 push ups. Most of the strain should be on your core, back, and shoulders from swimming. In my experience doing those push ups after a swim set was no harder than doing them before a swim set.
