Technically, you can do NOTHING in the rec centers or pools without your "host" (owner/friend/whomever signs the guest pass). However, if you happen to walk in with a resident, the odds are pretty good that it will be assumed your guest pass is via that member -- they rarely check to see if the names match. So, you can risk it but I really wouldn't unless most of your activities are going to be with friends who already have resident passes.

Otherwise, you really are pretty much limited to anything open to the public (the town squares, most polo field events, churches, spectators at sports events such as softball, shows [paying non-resident fees, of course]). It really is worth getting the $50 pass. With it, nothing is denied you and you don't need an escort.
