“The long-established rule in this state is that water hazards are not attractive nuisances, and the attractive nuisance doctrine does not extend to swimming pools, although there may be exceptions where the hazards are hidden or concealed and are not likely to be found and avoided by a child. Gordon v. C.H.C. Corporation, 236 So.2d 733 (Miss.1970); McGill v. City of Laurel, 252 Miss. 740 , 173 So.2d 892 (1965).

Mercurio, 254 Miss. 788 , 183 So.2d 150 (1966); Kelley v. Sportsmen’s Speedway, Inc., 224 Miss. 632 , 80 So.2d 785 (1955). We, therefore, conclude that the trial judge was correct in entering judgment for appellees, and the judgment must be and the same is affirmed.”
