Following the discovery of IGR J17177-3656 (Frankowski et al. 2011, ATel #3223) on 2011-03-15, we requested a Swift ToO, which was executed on 2011-03-16 from 18:39:24 to 20:41:01 UT with a total exposure of ~3.9 ks. 2266 photons have been extracted from the source region between 0.2 and 10 keV, corresponding to a net count rate of ~0.59 cts/s. Using the online Swift tool we find an enhanced position of RA = 259.428 (17h17m43s), Dec = -36.934 deg (-36:56:03s) (J2000), with a 90% confidence level error of 2.1 arcsec, consistent with the position measurements made by IBIS/ISGRI and JEM-X (ATel #3223).
