We report Swift satellite X-ray Telescope (XRT) observations of the probable recurrent Nova LMC 2009 (IAUC #9019, ATel #1930, #2001). We have detected a highly variable soft X-ray source, initially at a count rate of 0.010 +0.007/-0.005 c/s on day 70.74 after discovery of the outburst (2009 February 5.067 UT, IAUC #9019), which reached 0.042+/-0.009 c/s on day 70.88, then returned to a level of ~0.01 c/s on days 71.55 and 71.94, before climbing to 0.130+/-0.017 c/s on day 73.43.
