The two statements that use a simile to describe a character in a story are:

1. **Jennifer was like a fish whenever she set foot in the school's Olympic-sized swimming pool.**
2. **Without his glasses, Ollie was as blind as a bat, but he could hear a whisper from a mile away.**

Both of these sentences use "like" or "as" to make comparisons, which is the defining characteristic of a simile.
