I can't find it now but there is another news report that explains how it's physically impossible for this whale to swallow something that big. At most it could hold a person in its mouth before spitting it out.
I'm not sure that, from the perspective of a non-english-speaking kayaker, I would make a huge distinction between the English words "swallow" and "gargled".

Which is what we see in this video so I don't understand why you bring that up here.
