claire marveled at her little brother’s flawless dive. it looked effortless now, but she knew he had spent weeks perfecting the arch of his body and the point of his toes. she wanted to have a dive like that—the type people stop and watch. still, she could not bring herself to attempt it. after all, her brother’s first twenty or so dives had been awful, with knees and elbows flailing. claire shuddered to imagine looking like that in clear view of the entire pool population. and the whole head-first concept seemed intimidating. she wondered if her hands would reach the bottom of the pool. maybe some day. but for now, she decided she would just watch.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
