Is this a soil centipede?

My daughter's were horrified last night to find this in their bath tub! After googling, it seems like it could be a soil centipede, however it swam in water very easily and its back is lined with plates somewhat similar to a mantis shrimp or other similar aquatic bugs. Large sharp mandibles present as well as forked tail. What's this bug?! And will it benefit our raised garden bed where it was released? TIA, Found in central North Carolina.

Salvaged this module from an older hydromod which was leaking. I eventually gave up trying to get all of the silicone oil off, but it's at least somewhat legible. Decided to throw it in a steel case from Alix, painted the faceplate and added some film. Should have done all red.. the green and red looked good on the all black watch I had it in. Looks cool with the white LEDs though.
