We analyze here, a two-grid finite element method for the two dimensional time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with non-smooth initial data. It involves solving the non-linear Navier-Stokes problem on a coarse grid of size $H$ and solving a Stokes problem on a fine grid of size $h, h <<H$. This method gives optimal convergence for velocity in $H^1$-norm and for pressure in $L^2$-norm. The analysis mainly focuses on the loss of regularity of the solution at $t = 0$ of the Navier-Stokes equations.
