Tetanus isn't even found in rust, it's an archaebacteria that lives in soil. Tetanus can't survive in water. The only way you can get tetanus is to expose an open wound to contaminated soil. The only reason people associate rust with tetanus is that if you cut yourself with something rusty and get dirt on it you run the risk of catching tetanus. So, in conclusion, it is perfectly safe for you to go swimming.
