    Well before the daily throng of tourists arrive at the beaches, local open water swimmers hit the water to soak up the beauty of Grand Traverse Bay. And to get a workout. For Ashlea Walter open water swimming in Traverse City is a way to connect with nature and her friends. They often swim from East Bay Park, and they catch up as they put on their wetsuits and swim buoys and wade into the lake.

    “It’s meditative once you get going,” she said. “It’s also is a nice escape from the busy world. Once you’re out there, you leave everything behind.”

    Lainey chats with #ColinFarrell all about #ThirteenLives, the biographical survival film directed and produced by Ron Howard, chronicling the events of the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue that saw a junior football team and their coach trapped in a cave for a period of 18 days. The Prime Video movie also stars Viggo Mortensen, Joel Edgerton, and Tom Bateman. Colin explains how someone who doesn’t know how to swim, like him, ended up in this role, how he came to enjoy running since playing the part of John Volanthen, and his experience with the Thai people while filming. Plus, how he didn’t want to make the Thai rescue tale another white savior story.

    Anchored by Tyrone Edwards, senior correspondents Lainey Lui and Traci Melchor, reporters Chloe Wilde and Sonia Mangat, and L.A. correspondent Liz Trinnear, Etalk is Canada’s #1 daily entertainment show, shining a spotlight on home-grown television, film, fashion, and music and providing a unique perspective on breaking entertainment news and the hottest headlines.
