Once a week

I found a lap pool near where I live in Heidelberg Germany. The problem is its open air (not heated) and closed from 1 October to 31 May. The only other pool I've found has a designated swim time that I can get to from 7am - 8am on Friday. Am I wasting my time swimming one hour per week until the outdoor pool opens next Summer or is any swimming better than none? Mentally, I know it is, but I'm talking physically/physiologically.

If you are a competitive swimmer than you do waste your time. But from another hand 1 time a week is better than nothing. Perhaps you could find some gym and train on a dry land? That won't preserve your swimming technique but will keep your body fit.
