Confidant
The confidant (Vertrouwenspersoon) is there for members when they have issues related to Avalon, be it a complaint or if they don’t feel safe within the association. They may be contacted at vcp@tszwvavalon.com. Everything discussed with them is confidential.
Important: The Confidant is for all members, and subjects are never too small or too large.
An introduction from our VCP, Marijn Merkx
My name is Marijn Merkx. I’m 27 and your swim coach on Wednesday and the confidant of Avalon as of September. I graduated in Business Innovation and currently work (🍔) for Enexis. Originally, I’m from Breda, but I moved to Tilburg one year into my bachelor’s. My first year in Tilburg, I mostly swam alone because I wasn’t aware of Avalon’s existence. Luckily, Ties scouted me and I’ve been with Avalon ever since.
You can always come to me with anything that’s on your mind. You can email me at: vcp@tszwvavalon.com. Alternatively, you can always come up to me at practice, Avalon events or text me (you can find my number in the Avalon group chats).
