If the pool is heated, then probably just a waste of your money.

Wearing a wetsuit would be counterproductive on many levels. If the pool is heated, a wetsuit will cause the swimmer to overheat and dehydrate. A wetsuit adds a significant amount of buoyancy, so the swimmer’s balance and stroke would be affected–not a good thing for stroke and drill work or for training in general. Swimsuit Companies are coming out with non-buoyant "skin suits," but do you really want to throw down three hundred bucks because your kid might be cold in a heated pool?

No, it wont be helpful. If they are swimming around, the original cold they feel when getting in will quickly go away. Wetsuits hinder your arm movements a lot. I would only recommend using one in the ocean, never in a pool.
