  The Swift Small Magellanic Cloud Survey, S-CUBED, is a high cadence shallow
X-ray survey of the SMC. The survey consists of 142 tiled pointings covering
the optical extent of the SMC, which is performed weekly by NASA's Neil Gehrels
Swift Observatory, with an exposure per tile of 60 seconds. The survey is
focused on discovery and monitoring of X-ray outbursts from the large known and
unknown population of BeXRBs in the SMC. Given the very low background of
Swift's X-ray telescope, even with a short exposure per tile, S- CUBED is
typically sensitive to outbursts in the SMC at > 1 - 2% Eddington Luminosity
for a typical 1.4M neutron star compact object. This sensitivity, combined with
the high cadence, and the fact that the survey can be performed all year round,
make it a powerful discovery tool for outbursting accreting X-ray pulsars in
the SMC. In this paper describe results from the first year of observations of
S-CUBED, which includes the 1SCUBEDX catalog of 265 X-ray sources, 160 of which
are not identified with any previously cataloged X-ray source. We report on
bulk properties of sources in the 1SCUBEDX catalog. Finally we focus on results
of S-CUBED observations of several interesting sources, which includes
discovery of three Type II outbursts from BeXRBs, and the detection of Type I
outbursts and orbital periods in 6 BeXRB systems.
