He was 49.<\/p>\n<p>Allen was a well-respected coach based out of Florida, who most recently coached at the Westchase Branch of Tampa Bay Aquatics (TBAY). Prior to TBAY, he coached at the Clearwater Aquatic Team. He was been coaching in the Tampa Bay Area for over 20 years. In 2010, he was named the Florida Swimming Age Group Coach of the Year and was a member of the Florida Swimming Zone Team staff in 2004 and 2006. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#039;s going to be irreplaceable,&#8221; TBAY colleague Susan Curnette told the Tampa Bay Times. &#8220;Kelley never spoke a bad word to a swimmer, ever.
