Lisa beat me to it, dang.
If your ankles are tight you'll either stay stationary when you kick or you'll go backwards. It happens to a lot of people, you're not alone. Work on making your ankles looser and you might see some forward movement.
For me I could get by w/o kicking and swim the same speed. My ankles are screwed up and aren't too flexible. Today I swam with my legs tied at the ankles and felt no slowdown.
Fins on the other hand, jeez, I can go to frigging town with fins on. All those years of bodyboarding helped some.
