OP posts that he found it in his pool...he didn't say the bat landed on him or bit him why tf would he need to begin a vaccine regimen?...you gotta be telling me that just by looking at a bat he's gonna catch rabies...or by grabbing it out of the pool with a pool net on an 8 foot pole is somehow gonna splash the rabies virus on him or something,I know I sound really condescending but I'm genuinely asking you why do you assume Op needs to get on some type of rabies vaccine regimen when his post clearly stated they found it in their pool?

My first assumption without any other information is that OP saved the Bat's life by grabbing it with what I assume is something attached to a pole from a safe distance...but thats just what I assume to be a normal thought process,but you went and gave the whole super safety lecture-gram about OP NEEDING to get the rabies vaccine...why?

This. 100%. He would use a pool net to get the bat out. Y’all really think he waded in there and scooped it out???

The one possible exception is if OP was reaching in to empty the skimmer basket, but a bat, mouse, frog or snake there is likely going to succumb to exhaustion and die.

You don't check for bites or scratches if the zombie never comes in contact with you
