The largest freshwater animal in the world is Arapaima or a.k.a.Pirarucu.

That is certainly one of the largest fish in the world, but it is not a mammal.
The largest freshwater mammal is the semi-aquatic hippopotamus, spending around 16 hours per day in the water.
Another large aquatic mammal is the Florida Manatee. While it can and does spend time in salt water (particularly in the winter) it spends most of its time in freshwater. Even when it is in salt water, it must have a source of fresh water to drink.
River dolphins can be found in South America and Asia.These mammals, while not as large as manatees or hippos, spend all their time in freshwater.
