We observed the field of Swift GRB 211129A (Gropp et al. GCN Circ.
31136) using the NEXT-0.6m telescope located at Nanshan, Xinjiang,
China. We obtained 18x120 s frames in the Sloan r-band, starting at
12:38:57 UT on 2021-11-29, i.e., 2.8 hr after the BAT trigger.
No optical source is detected at the Enhanced Swift/XRT position (Goad
et al. GCN Circ. 31139) in our stacked image, down to a limiting
magnitude of r~21.2, calibrated with the nearby PanSTARRS field.
