About K2 Diving
The name K2 (k squared) originated when Keith Kopecky was coaching at Old Dominion University (ODU) in the 1990s. The college divers called themselves the “K squared” divers because of Coach Keith’s initials—KK.
K2 Diving officially started as its own organization in July 2011 and has continued to grow over the years. While sitting with a group of new divers one day, Coach Keith mentioned the story of the original K2 divers at ODU. They liked the K2 name and they decided to call the team K2 DIVING, which now, most people refer to as “K2.”
K2 divers consistently produce great results at the Age Group, High School, Masters, and National levels.
