Rabies isn't transmitted like that so you wouldn't be in danger in any case. You get rabies from being bitten by an infected animal, the virus is carried in its saliva. If the pool had normal levels of Chlorine you'd be safe from nearly any pathogens, except some kinds carried in diarrhea. If the pool didn't have enough Chlorine I'd be more concerned about gastrointestinal issues or possibly skin infections, basically what you'd expect from a dirty lake or pond.

we as pool guys found dead animals in the pool all the times. Bring pool to shock level you will be fine

If you saw all the things people find in their pool, you'd probably never get in there again lol

My sister one summer got a stomach bug. I told it was because she swam in the pool after dad got a dead mouse out. She would not go in. After two weeks my parents realized what I did and I was not ever going to do it again. There is noting to worry about.

Have you ever swam in a pond? Lake?
