Swift re-observed the location of AT 2025smm in the high-probability region
of LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA S250725dc from 1.56 to 1.63 d after the trigger. The
source is no longer detected. we obtained the following 3-sigma upper
limits:

Filter Exposure(s) 3-sigma UL AB mag)
UVW2     606        22.3
UVM2     466        21.8
UVW1     303        21.5
   U     151        20.8
   B     151        20.1
   V     151        19.3

No corrections were made for interstellar extinction.
