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

We can make it too complicated. To get it right kick on your back while sculling and watch the feet, make sure when kicking up the toes flex in. When you kick down they line up at 90 degrees. Then I like the waterpolo drill of the hands behind the back, kicking on the front with the head out of the water, things do happen naturally. After all said and done how important is the kick except for balance you don't even need a kick.
