COWAN, Judge (specially concurring). I concur with the majority that the summary judgment should be reversed, but solely on the ground that the record shows genuine issues of material fact on the questions of negligence, contributory negligence, proximate cause and intervening cause. In my opinion, the majority misconstrue summary judgment Rule' 56(c). Its application is properly applied in Klaus v. Eden, 70 N.M. 371, 374 P.2d 129 (1962). See also my dissent in Brock v. Goodman, 83 N.M. 580, 494 P.2d 1397, decided February 11, 1972. Additionally, the doctrine of attractive nuisance has no application to the facts of this case. That doctrine should not be extended to include swimming pools, either public or private, they having become a now commonplace family recreational facility.
