Flow State App Terms of use
Last updated 9 November 2026
These terms cover your use of the Flow State app. By creating an account you agree to them. Please read the safety section in full.
Who we are
The Flow State app is made by Imogen Hunter, Joseph Laurie and Benjamin Laval, working together in partnership ("we", "us"). Our address is 138 Herne Hill Road, London SE24 0AY. You can reach us at immy@flowstatefreediving.co.uk.
The Flow State name and brand belong to Flow State Freediving, Immy and Joe's freediving business, and are used in the app with its permission.
Safety comes first
Breath hold training and breathwork can make you lightheaded and if pushed too far, cause a blackout (loss of consciousness). Only train sitting or lying down, on dry land, in a safe environment. Never practise in or near water, in the bath, while driving, or anywhere a blackout could hurt you.
Where to train
Only on dry land, sitting or lying down somewhere safe, with nothing hard or sharp nearby. Never standing or walking. Never in or near water (including the bath, shower, pool or beach), while driving or operating machinery, or anywhere a blackout could hurt you. Stay seated or lying down for a minute after a hold and get up slowly.
How to train
Breathe normally before every hold. Never hyperventilate or do fast, deep breathing beforehand: it hides your body’s urge to breathe, which is your warning signal, and increases the risk of a blackout.
Never push to blackout. Stop as soon as a hold feels like too much, and stop altogether if you feel dizzy, tingly, faint or confused, or your vision changes. Breathe normally and rest.
Don’t train when you’re unwell, very tired, or after alcohol, drugs or sedating medication.
For long or maximal holds, train with someone nearby who knows what you’re doing.
The app can’t tell if you’re unwell or have lost consciousness. It is not a monitor.
Your health
If you’re pregnant or have any health condition, talk to your doctor before using the app. This matters especially for heart or blood pressure problems, epilepsy or seizures, fainting, asthma or other lung conditions, or if you take regular medication. If your health changes, stop training and seek professional medical advice.
In water
The app is training guidance, not medical advice. It is not a freediving course and is not a substitute for in-water instruction from a qualified freediving instructor. Take a course from a qualified instructor before holding your breath in water.
Never freedive or practise breath holding in water alone. Loss of consciousness in water can quickly lead to drowning, even in shallow water, unless a trained buddy is right beside you.
Who can use it
You must be 18 or over.
The health and safety statements you confirm when you sign up must be true. If your health changes, stop training and seek professional medical advice.
Your account
You can sign in with Apple, Google or your email. Keep that account secure, as it's how you get into the app.
You can delete your account at any time in Profile → Account, which deletes your data as described in our privacy policy.
The app
We keep improving the app, so sessions, plans and features may change. We'll try to tell you before anything that affects your plan. We may pause or close an account that breaks these terms.
Our content
Plans, sessions, stories and artwork in the app belong to us or are used with permission. They're for your own personal training, not for resale or for teaching others.
Responsibility
Follow the safety guidance every time you train. We aren't responsible for harm that wasn't caused by our own carelessness or by us breaking these terms, for example harm from training in water or ignoring the safety rules.
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn't allow us to limit. Your legal rights as a consumer are not affected.
Problems and complaints
If something's wrong, email us at immy@flowstatefreediving.co.uk and we'll do our best to put it right.
Changes and law
We may update these terms and will tell you in the app when we do.
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring a claim in your local courts. If you live outside the UK, you keep any mandatory consumer rights of the country where you live.
