Remembering Coach Kelley

It is with deep sadness that Tampa Bay Aquatics (TBAY) announces the loss of one of our beloved coaches, Kelley Allen.

Kelley coached TBAY at the Westchase Community Swimming pool.  Kelley put his heart and soul into swimmers of all ages for over 20 years in the state of Florida.  His positive attitude and passion for excellence has touched the hearts of many swimmers all over the state of Florida.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, his friends, the families of Westchase swimming and to all the Florida coaches who had the pleasure of coaching side by side with Kelly Allen.

His tragic loss will be felt by the entire TBAY family.

We have secured a large movie screen to show a slide show of pictures along with a microphone system to allow anyone the opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings during this event. We are putting together a billboard to give Kelley's Mother that everyone can sign at the candle light event. If you have any pictures of Kelley and the swim team, please email them to me.
 
We also are putting together a banner with pictures of Kelley and the swim team to used at the November 17th swim event. ( I do believe this is the correct date ) I will confirm the date with the swim team.

I will have more information in the next several days. Stay strong and make plans to attend both events to support the family and to show respect and admiration to our truly missed Coach.

Thank you!
