Has anyone tried to stretch their ankles to improve their kick?

I am just curious, has anyone tried to stretch their ankles to help their kick? If so did the ankle stretching actually work? If it worked how effective was it and how long did it take?
Thanks

I was watching some swimming videos and it seemed to me that the flexibility of the foot was more important than that of the ankle. On some of those people it looked like the foot was bending quite a bit while the ankle didn't seem to be flexed all that much past 60 degrees. The feet on these people really looked like a flipper the way it bent and whipped with each kick.
