is kickboard beneficial

Hi all, It's so funny--sometimes I see people at the pool who really go at it with the kickboard...and then other people wouldn't touch one if their life depended upon it. I'll admit, I don't use one--mainly becuase I'm impatient, feel like I'm not going anywhere, and am a purist to a fault sometimes. But, if you think that it's worthwhile, I would incoporate it, all for the sake of improvement. The great questions are: Will training with a kickboard make me a better, faster, super awesome swimmer? And, if you train with one--why? Or, why not? Thanks everybody (you know you're my outlet!)

    Just read the article on kick that you mentioned, and went onto the link www.zoomers.net/rack.htm has anyone tried this, after reading it i understand how it works, where do you get it from and how much is it? Has anyone here tried it? I really need to improve my ankle flexibility, mine is about 55 degrees, I work on leg flexibility every day but over the last 8 months or so havent had so much improvement in actual range of movement. Thanks :)
