Textbooks (calculus): Fundamentals of Physics: http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Physics-Extended-David-Halliday/dp/0470469080/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1398087387&sr=8-4&keywords=fundamentals+of+physics ,
Textbooks (calculus): University Physics with Modern Physics; http://www.amazon.com/University-Physics-Modern-12th-Edition/dp/0321501217/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398087411&sr=8-2&keywords=university+physics+with+modern+physics
Textbook (algebra): [This is a great one if you don't know anything and want a book to self study from, after you finish this you can begin a calculus physics book like those listed above]: http://www.amazon.com/Physics-Principles-Applications-7th-Edition/dp/0321625927/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398087498&sr=8-1&keywords=physics+giancoli
If you want to be competitive at the international level, you definitely need calculus, at least the basics of it.
Here is a good book: http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Intuitive-Physical-Approach-Mathematics/dp/0486404536/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398087834&sr=8-1&keywords=calculus+kline
It is quite cheap and easy to understand if you want to self teach yourself calculus.
Another option would be this book:http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-4th-Michael-Spivak/dp/0914098918/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398087878&sr=8-1&keywords=spivak
If you can finish self teaching that to yourself, you will be ready for anything that could face you in mathematics in university or the IPhO. (However it is a difficult book)

Problem Books: Krotov; http://www.amazon.com/Science-Everyone-Aptitude-Problems-Physics/dp/8123904886/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398087579&sr=8-1&keywords=krotov
You should look for problem sets online after you have finished your textbook, those are the best recourses. You can get past contests from the physics olympiad websites.
What about poor Walker? It's Halliday, Resnick and Walker. Poor, poor forgotten Walker.
I agree that it is a great textbook and was the one I used in first year university nearly 20 years ago.
If you are interested in a couple other textbooks, consider Conceptual Physics by Paul G. Hewitt. It is a non-mathematical look at the basic concepts of physics and contains lots of fun questions with seemingly counterintuitive answers if you don't fully understand the concepts. I also really like Physics: Principles with Applications by Douglas Giancoli. It is mathematical (but doesn't involve calculus) and gives lots of different examples and explanations for different concepts (maybe too many sometimes) and lots of good problems (some of them are a little challenging for an intro textbook, but that's not a bad thing).
