Can anyone enlighten me on the benefits of using fins during kick sets? Do they build leg muscles? Also, if they are something I need to add to my workouts, what style is the best for swimmers?

I have been increasing my fin-time and I'm noticing a positive difference in my legs. I generally do all of my drills and swim all of my laps, and then at the end of my workout, I'll put on the fins, grab a kickboard and take off. My heart rate goes up and after doing maybe 20 laps like that, I'm ready to cool down and head out.
I highly recommend fins!
