Swift has started a campaign of high cadence observations of the recent outburst of the recurrent nova U Sco, following the emergence first of a hard, and then a super-soft X-ray source (ATEL #2419, ATEL #2430). Observations spanning 2010 Feb 16:34 to Feb 14 23:40UT (14.25 - 17.54 days after outburst discovery on Jan 28.4385, IAUC #9111) were made mostly at 96 minute intervals by the XRT and by the UVOT with the u (3465A), uvw1 (2600A) and uvw2 (1928A) filters (also with the uv grism).
