Swimming peacefully to reach my goal,
Using no arms to reach the col.

Fruit of the effort I am,
Even though men go ham.

Many brothers and sisters,
Yet only one winner.

I have no ex and you may ask me why,
The answer, my friend, is that I'm a little shy.

Don't be fooled, I can still knock,
But I might stay on the rock.

How old am I must likely, and who am I ?

Answer:

the Y chromosome sperm cell

Swimming peacefully to reach my goal,
Using no arms to reach the col.

Well...it does not have arms

Fruit of the effort I am,
Even though men go ham.

You got to put "some effort" into it (if you know what I mean)

Many brothers and sisters,
Yet only one winner.

Only the first one gets the egg.

I have no ex and you may ask me why,
The answer, my friend, is that I'm a little shy.

The Y chromosome cell does not have an X one with it.

Knock as in "knocked-up".

    $\begingroup$ Also, the title has another hint. If one of them reaches the egg, the act was successful, so in a way they are "all winners". $\endgroup$

A spermatozoid

Swimming peacefully to reach my goal, Using no arms to reach the col.

The goal is the egg cell. The col, in French, is the cervix, but that's a little strange here.

Fruit of the effort I am, Even though men go ham.

Result of making love.

Many brothers and sisters, Yet only one winner.

Only one to reach the egg

Not sure about this. Maybe has not inseminated before (don't know how to say in English)

I guess...

spermathozoid (sry typos)
they have no arms, and have to swim up the river.
they are tons of thems, which all would be brothres/sisters, yet only 1 gets to the goal.
