The moment you have cross-activities (swimmers or hockey players who want to work out, families who have kids interested in more than one activity, or a single kid interested in more than one activity), you make this a much worse situation for everyone. Imagine 3 separate facilities for 3 separate activities, and three possible home locations, one adjacent to each of the facilities and far from all others. If you happen to buy a home by the one facility you use, you're great, but if your kid takes up a new interest, you become hard done by to get to the others, and heaven help you if you have need to visit multiple facilities. With a single main facility, you know that regardless of interests, you'll always go to the same place, have a better chance of needing fewer trips, greater chance of organizing carpools, etc.
