Wouda was born in Tilburg and grew up in Uden, where he joined the 'De Zeester' swimming club at a very young age.
His trainers were Martien Swinkels and Rob Kennis, who brought him to the top of Dutch swimming.

At the 1993 European Aquatics Championships in Sheffield he won the bronze medal in the 400 m individual medley.
Two years after he left Wouda moved back to the Netherlands, where trainer-coach Jacco Verhaeren brought him back to the top.
Wouda got his second Olympic selection when he qualified for the 1996 Summer Olympics.
There he finished in 4th place in the 200 m individual medley, 5th place in the 400 m individual medley, and 7th place in 4×200 m freestyle.
At the 1998 World Aquatics Championships in Perth, Western Australia Wouda became world champion in the 200 m individual medley and won two silver medals in the 400 m individual medley and the 4×200 m freestyle relay alongside Van den Hoogenband, Van der Zijden and Zuijdweg.
In April 1999 at the 1999 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) in Hong Kong, China Wouda won four medals.
In the summer of 1999 Wouda took part in the 1999 European Aquatics Championships in Istanbul, Turkey.
He successfully defended his title in the 200 m individual medley and won the relay titles in the 4×100 m freestyle, with Kenkhuis, Veens and van den Hoogenband, and the 4×100 m medley with Klaas-Erik Zwering, Stefan Aartsen and van den Hoogenband.
He also won the bronze medal in the 400 m individual medley.

In the aftermath of the Sydney Olympics Wouda resigned from swimming.
Six months later a journalist from Dutch daily NRC Handelsblad, Mark Hoogstad, wrote a book describing the resurrection of Dutch swimming at the hand of Wouda's career.
