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!)

    If you are in your 50's Lefty and did 23.96 back in the 1960's that was a really good time for then in meters. In yards it wasn't as good but still is similar to a boy in high school swimming a 21.96 today in yards. I reread your post and you said it was meters and I now don't think your in your 50's,correct.
