M.H. Siegel (PSU) and R. Caputo (GSFC) reports on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 250329B 7.4 ks after the SVOM trigger  sb25032902 (Xie et al., GCN Circ. 39925). We do not detect an afterglow at the position of the XRT counterpart (Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 39939).

Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits for the early exposures are:

Filter		T_start(s)	T_stop(s)	Exp(s)		Mag(AB)
u                 7392            8531          1121            >21.00
u                92986          110466          2225            >20.80

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.01 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
