The Vaquita is a marine creature and does not live in freshwater. The smallest freshwater cetacean is a dolphin. There are 3 or 4 families of river dolphin species.
There are several species of beaver and otter which might be considered to live in fresh water. These would be smaller than the littlest dolphin, but might be considered semi-aquatic.
The smallest of these would probably be the Nimba otter shrew, at 15 cm (6") long and weight up to 125 g (4 oz).

The vaquita, a small porpoise endemic to Mexico's Gulf of California, is the world's smallest and most endangered small marine cetacean. With fewer than 600 left, high levels of entanglement in fishing gear threaten imminent extinction if current trends continue.
(Common Name Vaquita, cochito, Gulf of California porpoise, gulf porpoise ;
Cochito, marsouin du Golfe de Californie, vaquita (Fr);
Cochito, vaquita(Sp) )
(The smallest mammal in the world is the bumblebee bat which lives along the River Kwai in western Thailand. An endangered species, the bumblebee bat is not much larger than an actual bumblebee (1.2 in) and weighs less than a penny (0.07 oz). Of course, there are several mammals similar in size to the bumblebee bat, and the designation of which one is actually the smallest can sometimes be contentious.)

a water shrew spends most of it's time in the water (semi-aquatic). I am not sure if you meant that it spent all or some of it's time in the water.
