Actually both of the first answers are correct. For most people it is not possible to swallow your tongue (see this site - its for kids, but has the applicable information): http://kidshealth.org/kid/body/tongue_noSW.html
However, for people like me who, at birth, had their frenulum removed due to a disorder medically called tongue tied it is completely possible! On the upside I can stick my tongue out a full inch further than most people can!
You can check this website for information on being tongue tied:

I hope this information helps!

No you can't swallow your tongue whether you are passed out or unconcious from a seizure. If you have seen the commercials lately for sleep apnea, the same thing happens as the one writer said. The tongue falls back and blocks the air passage so that a person can't breathe.

It`s possible. But if your at a party and you pass out you might be swallowing more than your tongue!!!
