In PFS or just in general?
If it is just in general, this may be the wrong forum for it?
Summoner can get their Eidelon to it, but for it to be useful it takes a TON of points (large, huge, grab, then swallow whole).

"That's really not a good idea. You never know what kind of nasty diseases or the like a potential target for such a thing might have. I thought maybe you were trying to do some sort of 'safety hug' sort of thing to protect fallen party members -- which would be kinda neat."

Even if you could, that's got to be super weird. Technically, the swallow whole ability says unless otherwise specified, you can swallow whole one size category smaller than you. So a Medium character could swallow a Small character. I'm just imagining now a human stuffing a grade-school sized child into his mouth, like some vore fetish. Eww.
Since its an ability and not a feat, I don't see acquiring it being easy if at all possible at all.

Only two ways that I can find to do it is the Barbarian Rage power.
Tyrant Totem, Greater (Su) (Ultimate Wilderness pg. 36): While raging, the barbarian gains swallow whole as per the universal monster rule. A barbarian must be at least 12th level to choose this rage power.
and if your a druid, you can wild shape into something with swallow whole and to make yourself more effective, can take this feat
Powerful Shape
Source Ultimate Magic pg. 1 Prerequisites: Wild shape class feature, druid level 8th.
Benefit: When in wild shape, treat your size as one category larger for the purpose of calculating CMB, CMD, carrying capacity, and any size-based special attacks you use or that are used against you (such as grab, swallow whole, and trample).
So, nothing super easy to say the least, but doable if your going for flavor vs. being overpowered.
and if your a druid, you can wild shape into something with swallow whole
No, the best a druid can do with wild shape is Beast Shape III, and this does not list swallow whole as one of the abilities that can be gained when the druid assumes the form of an animal.

Huh, weird. Figured with the wording on powerfulshape that it was implying that something could do it.
So looks like it's just tyrant barb.

Looks like that language is there because it's something that could be done to you that is governed by relative size differences, rather than done by you.
I know I'm late to this discussion, but I was looking up ways to swallow whole for a build I was making... which luckily works out SUPER well with Tyrant Totem! I am making an Adaro Flesheater Barbarian named Bruce...he claims to be vegan, and has changed from his evil past... but anytime combat has started, the second he see's blood, his moto of "People are friends, not food" is forgotten and he turns into a psychotic shark-man trying to shove everything and everyone down his throat! At least until after combat where he becomes melancholy and promises to change and never do that again! hahaha it'll be a fun throwback to a great movie...
But anyways, the reason I was commenting was because I noticed no one mentioned an Archetype called Gingerbread Witch from 'Horror Adventures'... it gets things like the Child Scent Hex, the ability to make a Gingerbread familiar, she can make candy in her cauldron, and then at 12th level gets a bite attack with the grab ability as well as swallow whole (so long as it targets a creature at least 1 size category smaller then you)... so if it is paired with enlarge person it works out pretty well for medium sized creatures... although it is an archetype thematically tied in with eating children, so it would probably not work out very well in 99% of gaming groups, except as the antagonist of a story or something! But it IS an option that gives swallow whole if thats all you're after
