If a swimming facility in a complex sports center (tagged with 
leisure=sports_centre) is tagged with leisure=sports_centre + 
sport=swimming you have two nested sports centers. That's not nice, the 
wiki page for leisure=sports_centre explicitly explains that it shall 
not be done ("Note that you should not place the leisure=sports_centre 
on inner elements. ..."). But then what other tag can be used for the 
swimming facility instead? There was a related discussion here on the 
tagging list some years ago:
