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!)

    I as well find that using a board gives me much shoulder pain, I will try the board sideways with my *** kick. I rearly use a board for flutter, fly or back kick one for the pain but also I never feel like I am kicking properly. I will do the flutter and fly under water and surface a couple of times per 25m. My kick is my strong point in both fly and ***.
