Whales, in general, are not capable of swallowing a human being and therefore will not eat you. However, there is a species of whales that does pose a legitimate challenge to that general theory: sperm whales. Whales are generally not capable of devouring a human, and it is very unlikely that a whale or any other giant aquatic animal would be interested in devouring a human. For starters, most whales do not have the kind of teeth that could break through flesh and bones, and not just whales; any aquatic animal would need strong, specially constructed teeth to break up large mammals, such as humans, into pieces small enough to swallow and digest.
