In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar and water.
Mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat and boil gently, stirring often,
until the strawberries are very tender -- about 3 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic and refrigerate until cool.
In a blender, puree the strawberry mixture. Pour the puree into a bowl.
Add the lemon juice and mix.

To serve, pour about 3/4 c. of the strawberry puree into a chilled glass.
Spoon scoops of ice cream into each glass.
Add 1/3 c. soda to each glass and mix gently.
Garnish with whipped cream.
