Could Swimming In A Pool Which Had A Dead Bat Lead To Rabies?

Hi, the other day I went night swimming in a smallish pool. Before I went to swim I saw a shape I thought was a leaf. As I was getting out of the pool I realized it was a bat lying face up. My ears did go underwater when I was swimming. Could I have rabies?
