they have long tails for swimming and heads to get into the ovum

A human sperm contains 23 chromosomes, half the number of chromosomes found in a normal human cell. During fertilization, the sperm combines with an egg cell, which also contains 23 chromosomes, to form a new cell with a total of 46 chromosomes.
A sperm is a single cell, so there is one cell per sperm.

Each gamete, the sperm or the egg, is haploid and contains half the number of chromosomes of a normal cell. When the sperm and egg combine to form a zygote, the zygote becomes a diploid cell with the normal amount of chromosomes.
The number of chromosomes found in either and egg of sperm is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell of the organism. For example, if you are thinking of a human sperm or egg cell is would be 23 chromosomes, since the normal human cell has 46.
Many sperm cells are needed to fertilize an egg cell because only one sperm cell can successfully penetrate the egg cell's protective layer and fuse with its nucleus to form a zygote. Competition among the sperm cells ensures that the strongest and healthiest sperm cell is most likely to successfully fertilize the egg.

They have less chromosomes than a normal cell.
A sperm cell is a different shape than a regular body cell. It sort of looks like a lemon with a tail. The main difference the between sperm cells and regular body cells is that sperm cells only have 23 chromosomes compared to the 46 in normal body cells do to undergoing meiosis.
A gamete is a specialized reproductive cell that contains half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell. In humans, the sperm cell produced by males and the egg cell produced by females are examples of gametes.
Sperm has half the chromosomes as a normal body cell, it has a large flagellum for movement, and I think it may lack a nucleus, although I'm not too sure on that account.
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
