Before UNH

During her senior season, Ginnis qualified for the British Summer Championships and advanced to the B final at the 2026 British Swimming Championships.
In 2025, she delivered one of the top performances of her career at the International Island Games in Orkney, winning gold medals in the 400-, 800- and 1,500-meter freestyle events and adding a bronze medal in the 400 individual medley. She also established two Jersey senior records during the competition. Ginnis additionally qualified for both the British Swimming Championships and British Summer Championships in 2025.
Earlier in her career, she earned a silver medal and three bronze medals at the 2023 International Island Games in Guernsey while qualifying for the British Summer Championships in both 2023 and 2024.
Personal
Born in Jersey, Channel Islands, United Kingdom. Daughter of Neil and Rebecca Ginnis. Has two older sisters, Poppy and Gracie.
Ginnis plans to study microbiology and biomedical science at UNH. Her athletic goals include qualifying for the NCAA Championships and representing Jersey at the 2030 Commonwealth Games.
One of her most unique swimming experiences came through training with Olympic champion and world-record holder Adam Peaty while competing for Repton Swimming.
Outside the pool, Ginnis enjoys running with her dog, Ludo, cooking for her family and playing the violin. Her favorite book is One Day by David Nicholls, her favorite movie is The Parent Trap, and her favorite television show is Friends.
Why UNH?
"The sense of community and family. I am excited to be part of a swim and dive team because most of my experience has come through individual competition. I am looking forward to being part of a team environment."
Fun Fact
Ginnis once participated in a relay swim around the island of Jersey, covering portions of a 48-mile course without wearing a wetsuit.
