Correct answer: The entire cast and crew of the film, enjoyed swimming in the pool, bathing in the ocean, and, particularly, sun bathing on the shore.

Solution

The original sentence uses 'splashing...bathing...to sun bathe' — the third item breaks parallel structure. The corrected sentence uses gerunds throughout: 'swimming...bathing...sun bathing'. Also 'splashing' → 'swimming' is a natural substitution in context.
