Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death in children under five in Australia.

This summer to combat drowning, Laurie Lawrence will use the internet, to give five free water safety lessons to all parents across Australia.

Laurie said "This year let's reach our target of zero preschool deaths. I am going to make five free online water safety lessons available to all parents across Australia".

The five free lessons are designed for parents with children under the age of five and are communicated via an online interactive learning program.

The interactive learning program features video footage of Laurie demonstrating swimming techniques and text documents that parents can download.

Over five lessons, parents will be educated on important elements of the learn to swim process like independence, conditioning children for submersion and free floating.

Parents will also learn more about his "do the five" message -- Fence the pool, shut the gate, teach your kids to swim - it's great, supervise -- watch ya mate and learn how to resuscitate.

The Kids Alive water safety lessons will be available for all via the Kids Alive website from December 3rd, www.kidsalive.com.au .

Laurie said "Just visit the Kids Alive website, become a free member and then anyone can gain access to the five free water safety lessons".
