They have fins for many reasons, mostly to help them to swim. I have also heard that they have fins to get air, but thats not a certain.

Dolphins have a dorsel fin to keep them from rolling while they are swimming. If they did not have a dorsel fin, they would roll around like a corkscrew while they swam.
