Florida Tech Head Coach Tony Marleneanu was hit by heavy flooding over the weekend, leaving his family’s home with a foot of water and no flood insurance to help cover the damage costs.
Heavy flooding across Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida in early November has left many with serious flood damage.
According to a GoFundMe page for the family, Marleneanu’s home is not in a designated flood zone, leaving them to cover the costs on their own.
The home had more than a foot of water from storms, which also destroyed the family’s car and caused severe damage throughout the entire house, leading the family to tear out drywall, flooring, and other parts of the house.
In addition to the structural damage, the flooding caused the family to lose many personal belongings, furniture, children’s toys, and many other items.
Marleneanu, his wife, and two children have a GoFundMe to help cover living expenses, replace personal belongings, and help the family get back on their feet as they work to rebuild their home.

The recent historic rainfall has devastated many families in our community, including one of our own. Florida Tech’s Head Swimming Coach, Tony Marleneanu, and his wife, Kathleen, along with their two children, have experienced devastating losses after their family home was flooded with over a foot of water.
Because their home is not located in a designated flood zone, the Marleneanu family did not have flood insurance, leaving them to face the overwhelming costs of rebuilding on their own. The flooding destroyed their family car and caused extensive damage throughout their home, forcing them to tear out drywall, flooring, and other parts of the house. Beyond the structural damage, they have lost countless personal belongings, including furniture, books, and many of their children’s toys.
As a husband, father of two, and dedicated head coach, Tony has spent so much of his time supporting others. He shows up for his athletes every day, encouraging them, pushing them to be their best, and creating a family within the Florida Tech swimming community. Now, we have an opportunity to show up for him, Kathleen, and their children.
We are raising money to help the Marleneanu family cover the costs of repairing their home, replacing essential belongings, and getting back on their feet. With no flood insurance to help cover the damage, every contribution will make a meaningful difference as they work to rebuild their home and regain a sense of normalcy.
Whether you are a member of the Florida Tech community, a former swimmer, a friend, or simply someone looking to help a family in need, any donation, no matter the size, is greatly appreciated.
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Thank you for helping us give back to a coach and family who have given so much to others.
Marleneanu is in his 3rd year as head coach of Division II Florida Tech’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving program in Melbourne, FL, and canceled both an alumni meet and tri-meet last week due to inclement weather.
