Among several dozen known repeating Fast radio bursts (FRBs), those precisely localized offer the best opportunities to explore their multi-wavelength counterparts, which are key to uncovering their origins. Here we report our X-ray, ultraviolet (UV), and optical observations with the $Swift$ satellite of the repeating FRB 20190520B, in coordination with simultaneous radio observations with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). Our aim was to detect potentially associated multi-wavelength bursts and identify any persistent multi-wavelength counterpart to the associated persistent radio source (PRS). While a total of 10 radio bursts were detected by FAST during the $Swift$ observations, we detected no X-ray, UV, or optical bursts in accompany with the radio bursts. We obtained the energy upper limits ($3\sigma$) on any multi-wavelength bursts as follows: $5.03 \times 10^{47}$ erg in the hard X-ray band (15--150 keV), $7.98 \times 10^{45}$ erg in the soft X-ray band (0.3--10 keV), and $4.51 \times 10^{44}$ erg in the U band (3465\AA), respectively. The energy ratio between soft X-ray (0.3--10 keV) and radio emission of the bursts is constrained as $<6\times10^{7}$, and the ratio between optical (U band) and radio as $<1.19\times10^{6}$. We detect no multi-wavelength counterpart to the PRS. The 3$\sigma$ luminosity upper limits are 1.04$\times10^{47}$ (15--150 keV), 8.81$\times10^{42}$ (0.3--10 keV), 9.26$\times10^{42}$ (UVW1), and 2.54$\times10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (U), respectively. We show that the PRS is much more radio loud than representative pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants, extended jets of Galactic X-ray binaries, and ultraluminous X-ray sources, suggestive of boosted radio emission of the PRS.
