On 2009 March 13th Swift/XRT observed the field of the Very Faint X-ray Transient (VFXT) SAX J1753.5-2349. In the ~2.2 ks (net exposure) photon counting mode observation, no sources are detected in the XRT error box for SAX J1753.5-2349. A 3-sigma upper limit can be measured at about 6E-3 counts/s. Adopting a spectral model with Nh=2.1E22 cm-2 and a photon index of 2.2, we obtain an unabsorbed flux as 6.0E-14 erg cm-2 s-1 (2-10 keV), corresponding to a luminosity level of about 5E32 erg s-1 (at 8 kpc).
