Even if you could swim fast enough to correctly position yourself for ingestion it would be quite a fight to get yourself past the baleen plates into their mouth: something that the whale would probably take offence at.
Whales are better swimmers and more aware of their surroundings then scuba divers. They aren't going to accidentally swallow you.

A whale would probably die if you got into its throat.

According to the Weekly World News last week, they found a whale with Jonah's skeleton in it (no kidding, I read it while in the supermarket line buying my weekly supply of Fun-yums, those fake onion rings). You know, the same newspaper that routinely runs photos of "batboy" and the space alien who likes to shake hands with Bill Clinton.

Absolutely. It's happened to me twice now. There I am, hovering motionless above some wreck just getting my zen on, and all of a sudden some damned Leviathan comes along and ingests me. I HATE that when that happens! Damned whales...general:

Well, it's the exit that is a real pain in the a55... in more ways than one.
