Ginn won the men's coxless fours at the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympics as part of Australia's Oarsome Foursome, along with Mike McKay, James Tomkins, and Nick Green, Ginn replacing the retired Andrew Cooper. He missed the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics due to a back injury.

In 2002 he teamed up with fellow Oarsome Foursome rower James Tomkins in the coxless pairs, coming fourth in the 2002 World Championships and in 2003 were the surprise winners, beating the British favourites and defending champions Matthew Pinsent and James Cracknell. With Pinsent and Cracknell moving to the coxless fours, Ginn and Tomkins became the gold medal winners of the coxless pairs at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
