There are several free online handouts which would help you learn inequalities.

You can start with a gentle introduction with a handout by Riasat ( Riasat Inequalities)Then progress to Inequalties by Mildorf

Also read Inequalities by Kedlaya
A splendid discussion on the basic inequaities can is Cauchy Schwarz Master Class, many free copies of which are floating around on the net
Thereafter you can look at advanced references like: (a) Old and New Inequalities by Titu Andreescu (b) Secrets in Inequalities by Pham Kim Hung. The second book has lots of solved illustrations and is a must-read if you are a serious competitor. Both books can be found online (!)

Apart from this you can always head over to art of problem solving site and look at the Olympiad Inequalities section, which has problems and solutions from olympiad competitors from all over the world.

Good Luck!
